Culture & History
in Nijmegen
Nijmegen, the oldest town in the Netherlands,
is steeped in history, which is not forgotten in
the town, but treasured in beautiful historic
buildings, parks and museums. Treat yourself
to a walk through Nijmegen and you will be
treating yourself to a journey through time.
Grote Markt
Nijmegen’s rich cultural history goes back two thousand years, when the
Romans settled here and Nijmegen grew to become the largest town of
the Netherlands. Several centuries later, the Emperor Charlemagne, chose
the Valkhof as the site to build his palace and it became one of the most
important places in his empire. The centuries that followed saw a succession
of monarchs, dukes and emperors, also choosing Nijmegen as their residence.
Because of it‘s strategic location, the town has often been at the centre
of conflicts. Most recently during the Second World War, when the Allies
bombed Nijmegen by mistake. Besides the hundreds of civilians who died,
most of the town centre was totally destroyed. Thanks to careful rebuilding,
Nijmegen has managed to retain it‘s attractive, lively character. The town
enjoys an easy southern, relaxed atmosphere. If you like to step back into the
past, there is plenty here for you to enjoy in the rich cultural and historical
variety which Nijmegen has to offer.
