Wilhelminapark
The Wilhelminapark dates back to the late nineteenth century and was designed by Leonard Springer. The design incorporates the former fortification moats. As a result, the two ponds have a winding shape. The park is named after Queen Wilhelmina, who visited Breda at that time (she was 14 years old).
Nearby the Wilhelminapark is one of Breda's two former water towers. On the bank of the largest pond is the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum.
At the entrance along the main road that runs between the ponds, there is a Polish war memorial. Opposite it, there is a German Panther tank that was donated to the city by Polish liberators after the Second World War. Since 2011, there has also been a monument dedicated to the 118 Breda Jews who were deported during the war.

If I walk to work in the winter and the sun just rises, it shines beautifully over the pond of Wilhelminapark. A little gift in the early morning and a lovely place to relax.
