The city walk through Oudenbosch is a must during your visit to Halderberge municipality. Its cultural heritage, architecture and beautiful stories almost make you believe you are walking in an Italian village. Join the guided city walk and walk along the highlights in 1.5 hours. Be surprised by the special buildings in this village. The Brabant conviviality is also not lacking during the walk.
Pastor Willem Hellemons plays an important role in the story of the city walk. He grew up in Roosendaal, but later studied in Rome, where he fell in love with Italian Roman Catholicism. How that happened, you can read in this story.
On his return to the Netherlands, he settled in Oudenbosch, but he kept dreaming about Italy. Inspired by Italian architecture and lifestyle, he had imposing buildings erected. The Basilica is the most famous of these. This copy of St Peter's in Rome is many times smaller, but all the more impressive in a village like Oudenbosch. He also built the various schools and institutions that Pastor Hellemons worked for in this style. Oudenbosch's economy got an enormous boost from all this activity. Stately mansions sprang up and the harbour and railway station worked overtime! The influence this parish priest had in the 19th century makes Oudenbosch what it is today.
The various structures are always well preserved and are the highlights of the city walk.
City walk public Saturdays from 1 April to 1 November:
