    Yes, I have an interesting story! On July 3, 1905, Queen Wilhelmina unveiled the Baronie or Nassau monument From the station, walk through Willemstraat towards the Baronie or Nassau monument at the entrance to the Valkenberg City Park on Willemstraat. The monument contains coats of arms of municipalities that never previously belonged to the barony.”…From the list of the lords of Breda, he writes, the Catholic Jan van Nassau (1630-1637), buried in Diest, has been omitted. “All in all, the manipulation with the concept of “Barony of Breda” a hundred years ago worked quite well. Even if a historical story is incorrect; then it may still be useful.” The monkey comes out of the sleeve on the heritage page of the municipality of Breda. If a monument is a woman it must control her layout. The Barony Monument does not do that. It shows off and shows off and with what? All things considered, with city coats of arms from the Breda area over which it displays jurisdiction. Traditionally to be the boss, at least in 1401. But is that true? It was that year exactly five centuries ago that Count Engelbrecht I of Nassau held his “Blyde Incomste” as Lord of Breda after his marriage to Johanna van Polanen. With this, the Nassau dynasty, later Oranje Nassau, established itself in the Netherlands. The Baronie or Nassau Monument at the entrance of the Valkenberg on Willemstraat. “The monument served to present Breda as a barony,” writes A.C. Maas, “while this barony had not existed for centuries. This monument is a clear example of fabricated tradition and falsification of history. An old situation was used to portray an attractive Nassau region with all the economic benefits that entails. It is best to do this with a city guide.

    (Translated by Google) Nice monument in a beautiful city park. Monument is part of city escape of Cluekeeper. Collect the 20 letters through an assignment and make the sentence. However, the solution is a single word; royal. A bit weird and strange. (Original) Mooi monument in een prachtig stadspark. Monument is onderdeel van city escape van Cluekeeper. Verzamel de 20 letters via een opdracht en maak de zin. Echter de oplossing is een enkel woord; Royal. Beetje raar en vreemd.

    The Nassau Monument or Barony - monument commemorates the arrival of the German Count Engelbrecht from Nassau to the Netherlands. On 3 reliefs you can see how he and his wife, the eleven-year-old! Breda's Johanna van Polanen were inaugurated as Lord and Lady of Breda. Engelbrecht and Johanna laid the foundation for the House with their marriage Oranje Nassau, the Dutch royal family. The monument was festively unveiled by the Queen in 1905 Wilhelmina. The coats of arms of twenty municipalities around Breda are placed all around. The Lion of Nassau towers on top with king's crown, sword and coat of arms.

    What a great project by artist Koen Van Mechelen. Especially the first day that the park was open was very special. Then you could also visit the studio. It is hoped that in the future another day will be organized every now and then where it will be possible to visit this fantastic location in the park.

    Breda is a beautiful, well-kept city, and the downtown park, at one of the "entrances" of which this ornate monument stands, is no exception.

(Original) Je kan er niet omheen als je van het station via het park naar de stad gaat. Het is een mooie zuil met voldoende geschiedkundige informatie.

    The Nassau Baroniemmonument in the Valkenberg Breda Park. A beautiful park in the heart of Breda, where there is regularly something to do. We went to Brand Parkies. From the month of July, a party on Tuesday evenings for 6 weeks.

    A beautiful monument! Symbolizes the important role that the House of Nassau played in the history of Breda. It sits in Breda's beautiful central park, and is quite lovely to see!
