About Zandberg
What are the main landmarks in Zandberg?
Zandberg's list reaches into Breda. The Grote kerk, the Waalse kerk, the Sint-Laurentiuskerk, the Heilig-Hartkerk and the Sint-Joostkapel make up the church record held against the quarter, alongside the Bisschoppelijk Paleis and Sint Catharinadal. The Stedelijk Museum Breda and the Equestrian statue of William III stand among them.
Closer to the street are the Gouverneurshuis, Huis van Wijngaerde, De Olyton and Cafe de Schuur, with listed fronts running along the Boschstraat and Catharinastraat. Sportpark De Blauwe Kei covers the playing fields.
What is the history of Zandberg?
Zandberg came out of the 1920s and 1930s, laid down as an extension of Breda rather than grown from a village, and the city files it under the quarter called Breda East. It forms one of four parts. That quarter is itself one of seven the city keeps.
Older things stand nearby: Sint Catharinadal, the Grote kerk and the Gouverneurshuis belong to a Breda far older than these interwar streets.
Where is Zandberg?
Zandberg lies southeast of Breda's city centre in North Brabant, one of four parts of the quarter officially called Breda East.
