Holiday apartment in Rosmalen: Culture, heathland and family experiences

Rosmalen is ideal for trips that bring together landscapes, local history, cultural events and family experiences. When planning a holiday apartment in Rosmalen, it is worth exploring the different sides of the town: Hooge Heide offers walking and cycling routes, while historic buildings, exhibitions, events and attractions involving animals or play opportunities provide further highlights.

Hooge Heide and routes for active days

The shared landscape history of Hooge Heide is shaped by drift sand and the formation of cover-sand layers. This landscape provides a tangible setting for walks and cycle rides. Walking and cycling routes have been laid out in the various sections of Hooge Heide.

The Heemkundekring Rosmalen also organises walks and bicycle tours. This makes it possible to combine nature and local history without limiting your stay to just one type of excursion. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Rosmalen can consider their preferred mix of exercise, culture and family-oriented activities as an important travel decision.

Historical traces and cultural impressions

The unnamed standerd mill has stood in Rosmalen since 1732. At the R.K. St Lambertus Church, the west tower dates from the 15th century and the Maria Chapel from around 1550. These three buildings reveal different historical layers of the town and are well suited as thematic points of reference for a culture-focused stay.

The virtual exhibition “Rosmalen in the 1950s” presents old photographs, stories about residents and interactive 3D models. Paintings, sculptures and photographs are continuously exhibited at PERRON-3. The cultural spectrum therefore ranges from local memories to changing artistic works.

Coudewater is also associated with a former facility that belonged to the Coudewater psychiatric hospital and served as a place for patients to relax. The origins of Maria Toevlucht Abbey in Uden lie in Rosmalen, on the site known as Coudewater; this was where the first settlement of the Order of Saint Birgitta was established in 1434.

Autotron and events

Autotron was formerly an automotive theme park. Today, it is a popular event venue offering a wide range of possibilities for indoor and outdoor events. The Libéma Open has a special connection with this location: the annual international grass-court tennis tournament brings the world’s top players together on Autotron’s outdoor courts in Rosmalen.

Autotron Rosmalen can be reached via the A59 between ’s-Hertogenbosch and Oss. Take exit 50 Kruisstraat and then follow the signs to Autotron.

Discovering Rosmalen with children

Dierenwei Geitenbrij in Rosmalen is home to guinea pigs, ponies, goats, pigs, a peacock and other birds. Since opening in 1993, the ’t Kwekkeltje playground has been free to access. Both attractions complement the cultural and landscape themes with tangible experiences for a stay with children.

’t Kwekkeltje is open from 1 April to 1 November, daily from 10:00 to 19:00. This clearly defined season provides a practical point of reference when planning your travel days and choosing accommodation in Rosmalen.

Readings and concerts

Readings and concerts can be held at Kunsthuis Rosmalen, which is happy to invite established speakers and musicians. As a result, literary and musical events also form part of the town’s cultural profile alongside exhibitions and historical topics.

As another discovery in the surrounding area, you can include 'S-Hertogenbosch.
