Bree’s main church, constructed from yellowy Limburg marl, is dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Michael and mixes Mosan Gothic and neo-Gothic architecture. But there’s also a stonework from the first, Romanesque church built on this site in the 11th century, in the square tower despite several reconstructions. The choir and nave are from the 15...
The genteel building with the pediment south of the central Vrijthof square is Bree’s former town hall. This now holds a branch of Oxfam and the city’s tourist office on its ground floor, while upstairs there’s a museum with a wild diversity of objects from Bree’s past. The Oud Stadhuis was built between 1587 and 1591. The city council and aldermen...
On the central Vrijthof square, Bree’s city hall is housed in a former Augustinian monastery building dating back to 1659. The main structure on the square is Mosan Renaissance, with Baroque cloisters completed later, in the early-18th century and a Baroque chapel from around 1718. Starting in the 1990s, the complex, which had previously housed a s...
Bree’s cute central square is bounded to the north by the dignified city hall. The name Vrijthof comes from a walled graveyard that once took up part of this space. From 1532 this was the site of a well that was replaced in the 18th century by a water pump. And although both are long gone, their memory has been revived by a fun fountain with low je...
Brouwerij Martens in nearby Bocholt has the third-highest capacity of any brewery in Belgium, at 3.6m hectolitres a year. The company goes back to 1758, and has turned its historic brewery, used from that time until the mid-19th century, as a superb industrial museum. Full of vintage equipment, the museum is a journey through the brewing process in...
The attic of the old city hall is a repository for the Bree’s various treasures. This collection of models, documents, artefacts and photographs was first assembled in the 1970s and tells the story of Bree from prehistory to the Second World War. There’s Baroque furniture, all sorts of utensils and tools relating to historic trades, as well as weap...
The green, gentle countryside around Bree is served by a 2,000-kilometre system of cycling paths. Most of these are paved and free of road traffic, and you’ll be able to plan your trips using the system’s numbered junctions (knooppunten). There are also special, named trails passing through Bree, ranging from 17 to almost 90 kilometres in length. I...
The Abeek, which flows past Bree from west to east, is a stream that has been left relatively untouched by humans, keeping its natural meanders, and edged by marshland and ponds. Sint-Maartensheide – De Luysen is a nature reserve ten minutes north-east of Bree where you can amble or cycle in a mix of heather, forest, pasture grazed by Highland catt...
One look at Bree on a map and you’ll see that it has a Medieval street plan, with a ring road that took the place of the ramparts and moat in 1870. The road bears the names of the different sections of the former wall (Witte Torenwal, Grauwe Torenwal, Ter Rivierenwal). But even more interesting is that the outlines of the Bree’s four lost city gate...
Bree’s space for recreation is a brief ride south of the city centre and is a treat for young children in particular thanks to its fun-packed playgrounds and water-themed Bronneke. A nice addition is the multisensory “G Pad” designed for disabled children, but available to all. There’s also outdoor fitness equipment, a basketball court, skate park,...
