This is a
picture of the Polish Chapel at the Lovendijkstraat; dedicated to the patron saint
of Poland for the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Breda liberation by
the First Polish Armoured Division in 1944. It takes a prominent place in
this small park, and is flanked by two rows of trees. The
Museum De Beyerd in the centre is closed for renovation for some time to come
(2003). It has opened again, but I have not yet visited. Near the
entrance of the beautifully renovated Church Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk, which
you can visit, you find a flock of small bars. In the
southern part of the city is the District ’t Ginneken; one of the most
beautiful old village centres which were annexed by Breda during the past
centuries. Across from the church Sint Laurentius Kerk, Ginnekenstraat 333, is the Restaurant “Oncle Jean” with a cosy
terrace. Inside are changing art exhibitions. |

The NCH-Breda Museum, or rather the Needlework Museum:
Handwerkmuseum , is easily accessible, and located on the ground floor of the
structure. It has a very large collection of needlework and changing
exhibitions. The museum is to be found in the industrial area and not
easily recognizable. When you turn
into the Industrieterrein coming from the Ring, go left and the museum is at the left-hand side of
the road. |
