Baroniemonument, Historical monument in Valkenberg Park, Breda, Netherlands.

The Baroniemonument features a castle-inspired design crowned with a lion figure and displays the coats of arms of twenty municipalities around Breda.

Architect Pierre Cuypers created the monument to commemorate the 500-year connection between Breda and the House of Orange-Nassau, starting from 1404.

The monument represents the medieval period through its architectural elements and includes the names of Engelbrecht and his wife Johanna van Polanen.

Located at the entrance of Valkenberg Park, the monument stands as a national heritage site and remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.

Queen Wilhelmina unveiled this stone structure on July 3, 1905, marking the long-standing relationship between the city and the Nassau dynasty.
