If the Grote Kerk Breda has a place close to you heart, you can contribute to the preservation of this special national monument after your lifetime by bequeathing it to the Stichting Grote Kerk Breda. A great way to pass on to future generations what is of great value to you now.

The Grote Kerk Breda is Breda's living icon, Top Monument of the province of North Brabant and one of the most important national monuments. Its history goes far back in time.

The church was built in the 15th century at the initiative of the ancestors of the Dutch Royal Family. The Grote Kerk Breda and its magnificent tower have defined the city's image for centuries. The monument plays an important role in all major developments in the history of the Netherlands and of Breda.

And to this day in the lives of Breda residents: ‘When I see the tower of the Great Church Breda, I am at home’ is a common saying.

To preserve this important heritage for future generations, the Grote Kerk Breda invests in sustainable conservation and dynamic and accessible programming
