Medieval

Den Bosch is a fortified city that has retained its medieval character. In many places, you can still sense the glorious past. The city walls and fortifications of the fortified city of ‘s Hertogenbosch were built in the 16th and 17th centuries. Virtually all of its fortifications have remained intact. Two rivers flow through the city: the Dommel and Binnendieze rivers.

Highlights of Den Bosch

The Gothic St. Janskathedraal (Saint John’s Cathedral) draws a huge crowd. Yet the city has much more to offer. For instance the Stedelijk Museum, which focuses on modern art and design, and the Carnavalsmuseum. An absolute must is the Jheronimus Bosch Art Center, where you will learn everything about this most famous inhabitant of the city.
