    The rule is that everyone keeps a distance of 1.5 meters. It was his parting gift. Merkxtuin is more or less hidden behind the former court houses in one of the gates on the side of the Catharinastraat is signed with the text “Hof van Ghestel” gate between Catharinastraat 24 and 26 diagonally opposite the beguinage. If you like silence and reflection, you are in the right place here. If you like (art) sculptures and culture, nowhere in Breda will you see as much (art) in a small area as here. Are you curious how? Or do you need inspiration first? The garden is a unique piece of culture with beautiful trees and plants. Willem Merkxtuin in Breda is also suitable for a wedding report. This activity is suitable for the whole family, children, adults and the elderly, this outing is accessible to the disabled. The garden actually borders and even flows into the backyards of the local residents. From a gate at the back of the garden you enter St. Annastraat 12... then you can go through the Stadserf... (small square) to the back of the town hall and you can walk to the Grote Markt. The garden is only open to the public between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM and on weekends between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The garden is publicly accessible during the day. It makes the visit worth it.

    A little gem hidden behind some houses. A little garden just to sit and enjoy the calm and quiet. It's great.

    Nice garden to see in the middle of the busy city. On the other hand, it was supposed to be a silent garden, but this turned out not to be the case. Many people did not take this into account and disrupted the peace that could have existed.

    I've been there twice. It is a silent garden, which gives a special atmosphere in the heart of Breda. During the Jazz festival it is completely different. There is a stage and various jazz music makes the silent garden a place where many people find each other. Conviviality everywhere.

  • 5/5 Gerrit M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Walked in here by accident, it is a true oasis of peace in the city center of Breda. A resident told us that a lot of people from Breda had never been here either. A shame, highly recommended with all those beautiful images. (Original) Bij toeval hier binnen gelopen, is een ware oase van rust in de Bredase binnenstad. Een bewoner vertelde ons dat een heleboel Bredanaars hier ook nog nooit waren geweest. Zonde, een echte aanrader met al die prachtige beelden.

    (Translated by Google) We walked through the garden during the jazz festival. Nice place, even if there is no music. (Original) Wij liepen door de tuin tijdens het jazzfestival. Fijne plek, ook als er geen muziek is.
