“The three crosses are Saint Andrew’s crosses. They Symbolize the city’s historical connection to the House of Nassau, which is also the lineage of the Dutch royal family. Loved the video!”

“I love Breda: I have been born there and lived there the first 29 years of my life. I left Breda in 1987 because of my job, not because I did not love it to live there. I am still a regular visitor to this day. You can not compare Breda wit”

“There are 3 cities on one trading route that use the x's (Andrew's crosses). At times when the majority of the population could not read it was very convenient to mark bags and boxes, so everybody could tell which to unload where.”
