The castle of the city of Breda has an important history and is worth a good look (from a distance). It now houses the military academy and is therefore not accessible.

Breda Castle was once the ancestral castle of the Nassaus, the ancestors of our Royal Family.

Due to the important international role of the Nassaus, the Castle was an important place in Europe from the 15th to the 17th century.

Long history
Breda Castle has a long history. As early as 1198, there was a fortress on the site of the current castle. The Castle came into the hands of the Nassaus at the beginning of the 15th century through the marriage of the German Count Engelbrecht of Nassau to Johanna van Polanen from Breda.

The Castle has been demolished and built almost continuously over the centuries.

From Renaissance palace to KMA
In the sixteenth century, Count Hendrik III of Nassau had the castle rigorously renovated into a Renaissance palace. To do this, he brought Thomas Vincidor de Bologna, a pupil of Raphael, to Breda. With the arrival of the Royal Military Academy in 1826, the castle was again simplified and many of the Renaissance ornaments disappeared.

Guided tours
Because the castle is on military grounds, it can only be visited to a very limited extent. Gilde de Baronie regularly gives guided tours of the grounds.
