Willem Merkxtuin
The Willem Merkxtuin is a green oasis in the heart of Breda.
In 1984, Ir. Willem Merkx retired as mayor of Breda. It was his wish to turn the wasteland behind the court houses at the Catharinastraat into a beautiful garden. As a farewell gift, the people of Breda offered him this sculpture garden. From the Merkxtuin you have a nice view of the back of the patrician houses in the Catharinastraat. The garden is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and is free of charge.
On market days, It is also a great place to listen to the carillon of De Grote Kerk at 11 a.m.
The Willem Merkxtuin has two entries:
- Gate next to Publieke Werken diner (St. Annastraat 12)
- Gate between Catharinastraat 24-26
