A veritable palace on the Paleisring
Did you know that the Paleisring is named after the Paleis-Raadhuis, the city’s distinctive town hall? This street in Tilburg forms part of the Cityring, the one-way road encircling Tilburg’s cosy city centre. You can reach the city centre by car via this Cityring. The Paleisring connects Piusplein with Stadhuisplein. A few years ago, one-way traffic was introduced to make the city centre more accessible.
King William II’s residential palace
The former palace was commissioned by King William II, who laid the foundation stone himself in 1847. Unfortunately, the former monarch was never able to live there. He died in 1849, a few weeks before his residence was completed. In 1931, the royal family donated the palace to the municipality of Tilburg, after which it became part of the town hall. The white building with its battlements is a listed building and is the centrepiece of the Paleisring.
