The Havermarkt has been the place to go out in the center of Breda for more than 50 years. While enjoying a cup of coffee, a beer or something else tasty at the Havermarkt, take a good look around. From here you have a beautiful view of the tower of the Grote Kerk. You will also see several old houses such as De Vogelstruys which dates from the 17th century and has a remarkable non-symmetrical stepped gable. It is not entirely clear where the name Havermarkt comes from. The grains were in fact traded on the Grote Markt. However, farmers did sell vegetables, eggs and butter at the Havermarkt. The square was also called Groenmarkt, Botermarkt and Korenmarkt and those names actually fit better.
