By taking a stroll around this expansive palace, with its many halls, chambers, galleries, stair-towers, courtyards and gardens, visitors will get some idea of the elegant lifestyle enjoyed by those who resided here in earlier times.

The collection of historical artefacts consists of paintings, furniture and ornamental implements and objects dating from the 15^th century up to and including pieces from the 18^th century. There is a particularly fascinating scale-model of Bergen-op-Zoom as it was in about 1747, showing the situation just before the besiegement and capture of the town by the French. Another model of the town shows how it was in the year 1890 at the height of the industrial age.
