Roman Catholic church, seat of the bishop. The second largest church in the Netherlands. Build in three phases between 1895 and 1930, after a design by Jos. Cuypers. Magnificent building, glorious interior.

Kenaupark and Ramparts

Once part of the City Fortifications, the Ramparts (‘Bolwerken’) were transformed in the middle of the nineteenth century into a citypark by the famous landscape and garden architect Zocher. The Kenaupark was designed by him in 1865. Some years later a monumental row of gentlemen houses and some detached residences were build around this park.
