Wilhelminapark

The Wilhelminapark dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and was designed by Leonard Springer. The design includes the former fortress moats. As a result, the two ponds have a meandering shape. 
The park owes its name to Queen Wilhelmina, who visited Breda at that time (she was 14 years old). 

Near the Wilhelminapark is one of the two former water towers of Breda. Along the shore of the largest pond is the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum.

At the entrance on the main road running between the ponds, there is a Polish war monument. Opposite it is a German Panther tank that was donated to the city by the Polish liberators after the Second World War. Since 2011, there is also a monument for the 118 Breda Jews who were deported during the war.
