About Heusdenhout
What are the main landmarks in Heusdenhout?
The Granaattoren stands out. Heusdenhout's record runs heavily to churches: the Sint-Annakerk, the Grote kerk, the Waalse kerk, the Heilig-Hartkerk and the Sint-Joostkapel, with Sint Catharinadal and the Bisschoppelijk Paleis beside them. The Stedelijk Museum Breda holds the art, and the Equestrian statue of William III the civic monument.
Older houses follow. The Gouverneurshuis, Huis van Wijngaerde, De Olyton and Cafe de Schuur sit with the listed fronts of the Boschstraat and Catharinastraat.
What is the history of Heusdenhout?
Heusdenhout keeps no chronicle of its own. What stands in its place is the history of Breda, whose older fabric, Sint Catharinadal and the Grote kerk and the Gouverneurshuis, carries the dates the district has none of. The Granaattoren belongs to that older layer too.
A single church name attaches to the district itself, the Sint-Annakerk, and the rest of what the lists record sits under Breda and the province of North Brabant.
Where is Heusdenhout?
Heusdenhout occupies a stretch of Breda in the Dutch province of North Brabant, its ground carrying the Sint-Annakerk and, close by, the Granaattoren.
