It was a short walk to the Begijnhof, that served as a home or shelter for women starting in 1535, with habitation going back about another 300 years. The Begijnhof is a walled complex set in two connected courtyard squares with gardens, small museums, and a nice central church built in the 1800s. The nice church built in the 1800s really stood out in the in the back of the courtyard.
It was another short walk to Valkenburg Park. The park has some very nice trees and flowers, and a nice canal with a nifty red foot bridge. From one side of this City Park is a view of a Large Red Building, that I could not find any information about. This park is a good (free) place to hang out.
It was not far outside the park to Molenstraat. I liked the nice old row buildings especially De Nieuwe Veste, that serves for concerts and other intertainment. I walked to the nearby Sint Antonionskirk, (on another street) that was still closed.
Time for me to scoot as there is more for me to see here on my last day in wonderful Breda.
