In the historical centre of Bergen op Zoom you´ll find the biggest and the most beautiful citypalace of Western Europe. This late-gothical palace was built at the end of the 15th century to honour the marquises of Bergen op Zoom. The architect were the Belgians Anthonie and Rombout Keldermans. Behind the fabulous exterior walls, you´ll find an overwhelming unity of halls, rooms, galeries, towers, squares and gardens.
Walking through this big palace, you still can feel the elegant way of living of it´s former inhabitants. The collection consists of paintings, furnishment and decorational objects from the 15th untill the 18th century.

The Markiezenhof is the former marquis's palace. Its first origins date from the 14th century, when it was the residence of the lords of Bergen op Zoom, who were granted the title of marquis in 1533. The current complex is the result of various rebuilts and enlargements. In the late 15th and early 16th centuries famous architects of Gothicism Anthonis I and Rombout Keldermans were involved in the work at the complex.
This is a real city palace, which means that it always was surrounded by other buildings. Which means there's more to see behind the gate that you wouldn't notice by strolling through the streets.
The interior from the long gone days is largely preserved and can be admired. There's also a room in 18th-century style, furnished with exhibits coming from other buildings in the country. Furthermore there are changing exhibitions and a permanent one about fun fairs. In the near future a pemanent exhibition about (political) cartoons will be opened. Leave a Comment
