Roosendaal: Art, Routes and Green Spaces

Roosendaal offers a variety of ways to discover culture and landscape: on foot on a city walk, by visiting art venues, or by cycling one of the available routes. Which direction you choose depends on whether you are more interested in urban history, changing exhibitions, summer events, or outdoor activities.

City History and Art on Foot

The Tongerlohuys is a former rectory that took on its present form in 1762. At the museum, five icons tell the story of Roosendaal and the region. The permanent location is currently closed for renovation; the temporary exhibition is housed in the EKP building in Roosendaal. The location and opening arrangements may change. Therefore, check the latest information before visiting.

The Kunstommetje is a 5.2-kilometre city walk in Roosendaal. The route passes historic buildings, statues, murals, and other works of art. This makes it a practical option if you want to discover both architecture and art on a walk. Check the route information before setting out.

There is more to explore than this single city walk: Roosendaal and its surroundings have more than 20 walking routes. These include other city walks, family-friendly outings, and walks through the woods. The selection therefore includes different types of routes; the route information can help you find a suitable option for your plans. Roosendaal also has three audio tours, which can be played on a smartphone and each have their own theme. As the availability of digital tours may change, check the visitor portal before using them.

Gardens, a Park, and a Summer Program

The Stadstuin van Hasselt features nine different works of art. Changing exhibitions are also held there throughout the year.

Park Vrouwenhof is Roosendaal’s city park. Live performances take place there every Wednesday evening in summer.

Programs are seasonal; for specific dates, consult the current events calendar and the theater program.

With Children or by Bicycle

At Speeltuin Vrouwenhof, children can play on a variety of play equipment. There are picnic tables and grassy areas for picnics. Playtime and a shared meal break can therefore be considered as two aspects of the same outing; check the latest information about visiting before making plans.
