Holiday apartment in Oosterhout: Art, monasteries and historic paths

A holiday apartment in Oosterhout is a good choice for a trip that combines art, history, landscape and regional specialities. Oosterhout is home to MOYA, Museum Of Young Art, an art platform for young and emerging artists with an exhibition area of 2,800 m². The Speelgoedmuseum Oosterhout has Europe's largest collection of Anker building blocks. This brings together two very different cultural themes.

Historic places and a monastic landscape

The historic character also includes specific sites. The small castle De Blauwe Camer was built around 1400. Along Ridderstraat are the small castles Brakestein, Limburg, Beveren and Borssele; they are monuments closely connected with the history of Oosterhout.

The Heilige Driehoek is a contiguous area in Oosterhout with three monasteries directly adjacent to one another: Sint Catharinadal, the Onze Lieve Vrouweabdij and the Sint Paulusabdij. Surrounding the Heilige Driehoek are gardens, estates and monumental farmhouses, enclosed by a historic pattern of waterways and wooded banks.

The Wandeling Heilige Driehoek is considered a circular route of approximately four kilometres. Its approximate length can help you fit a walk into your day's planning.

The history at the site of the Sint Jansbasiliek also stretches far back: in 1277, a Romanesque three-aisled church already stood there. Together with the small castles and monastery complexes, this creates a broad range of historical themes.

Wine and tours at Sint-Catharinadal

Three wines are produced at the Sint-Catharinadal winery, each with its own character. Sint-Catharinadal also offers tours of the small castle De Blauwe Camer, the vineyard and the estate's gardens. This appeals to travellers who enjoy combining regional products and historic sites in a single travel concept.

Destinations in and around the region

Kasteel van Breda, Fort Grote Schans / Spinola and Zuidewijn Castle are located in the vicinity of Oosterhout. The Textielmuseum is located in the wider region around Oosterhout. The selection therefore ranges from destinations nearby to a museum in the wider regional area.

Parks for more holiday ideas

De Warande Park and Boswachterij Dorst Park are located in the immediate vicinity of Oosterhout. Boswachterij Liesbos Park and Oude Warande Park are located in the surrounding area of Oosterhout. These parks complement the cultural and historical themes with further landscape destinations.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Oosterhout, the desired travel concept is therefore the main consideration: cultural discoveries, a landscape shaped by monasteries, a walk or regional destinations can all be given different emphasis. Your accommodation should suit the focus you choose for your days on holiday, without restricting Oosterhout to just one theme.

If you would like to add another place to your plans, you can also discover Den Hout.
