Where to stay in Princenhage
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Rooms in Princenhage are thin on the ground, and most travellers weighing a stay in Breda book nearer the centre than the Haagsemarkt, where the pull is a parish square rather than a hotel strip. Beds cluster in Breda. What Princenhage gives instead is a walkable old core around Sint-Martinuskerk, the Dreef and Liesbosstraat, with the Princenhaags museum a few doors from the square.
Anyone with business on the Haagweg side of the city gains most from sleeping out here.

About Princenhage
What are the main landmarks in Princenhage?
Sint-Martinuskerk anchors the old core. Two museums stand within a few streets of it, the Princenhaags museum and the Bierreclame Museum Haagweg, and the Maczek Memorial Breda is counted among the quarter's monuments as well. The Johanneskerk and the Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Altijddurende Bijstand add two more church buildings.
Listed houses line the Haagsemarkt, the Dreef and Liesbosstraat, with the Haghehoeck among the named properties of the old village.
What is the history of Princenhage?
Princenhage's older self was a village. The neighbourhood council pressed its case within the Breda municipality council and won the quarter an appointment as a village in its own right, which is why the phrase used locally is Princenhage Village in Breda. Listed dwellings on the Dreef and Liesbosstraat carry that older fabric in the monument record. North Brabant sets the wider frame, and the Maczek Memorial Breda belongs to the same list of protected things in the quarter.
Where is Princenhage?
