’s-Hertogenbosch, better known as Den Bosch, has a rich history. In the historic city center you will find numerous monumental buildings, old streets, and special attractions, such as St. John’s Cathedral and the Binnendieze.
The name ’s-Hertogenbosch means “the duke’s forest.” In 1185, Duke Henry I of Brabant granted the city municipal rights and trading privileges. Over the centuries, Den Bosch developed into an important fortified city. City walls, earthen ramparts, and bastions protected the city from enemy armies.
The Market Square forms the historic heart of Den Bosch. The medieval city center has largely been preserved, with sights such as St. John’s Cathedral, the town hall, and De Moriaan, one of the oldest brick houses in the Netherlands. The narrow streets and historic merchants’ houses also recall the city’s past.
The Bossche Broek nature reserve is closely connected with the history of ’s-Hertogenbosch. The marshy landscape once formed a natural line of defense, making it difficult for enemy armies to reach the city. The fortress was considered invincible and was nicknamed “The Marsh Dragon.” The gilded dragon near the station refers to this nickname.
