You can plan a visit to Rosmalen around a range of interests: the unnamed post mill has stood in the town since 1732, while the Autotron brings together its former use as an automotive theme park and its current role as an event venue. At the R.K. St.-Lambertuskerk, the tower and chapel point to different periods of construction. If you first decide whether local history, art or an event date will shape your stay, you can also search for a hotel in Rosmalen more purposefully.

Local history in buildings and images

The unnamed post mill in Rosmalen has stood since 1732. The west tower of the R.K. St.-Lambertuskerk dates from the 15th century; the Mariakapel on the south side of the tower was built around 1550. Together, these details show that the church’s construction history spans several periods. If you are interested in historic buildings, you can view these two dates as distinct points of interest.

The Abbey of Maria Toevlucht in Uden originated in Rosmalen: the first settlement of the Order of Saint Bridget was established in 1434 on the site known as Coudewater. The virtual exhibition “Rosmalen in the 1950s” offers another perspective on local history. It was published in June 2018 and features old photographs, stories about residents and interactive 3D models. Photos, stories and models provide different ways to explore the subject.

Art and events

Paintings, sculptures and photographs are regularly exhibited at PERRON-3. Kunsthuis Rosmalen is a good venue for readings and concerts; established speakers and musicians are often invited to perform there. Heemkundekring Rosmalen organises walks and cycling tours. The cultural and recreational activities mentioned here range from visual art to walks and bike rides.

The Autotron has changed over time: it was once an automotive theme park and is now a popular event venue, with facilities for both indoor and outdoor events. The annual international grass-court tennis tournament Libéma Open brings the world’s top players to the Autotron’s outdoor courts in Rosmalen. The former automotive theme park, its current use as an event venue and its grass-court tennis offer different reasons to consider the Autotron when planning your trip.

Animals, play and practical choices

Dierenwei Geitenbrij in Rosmalen is home to guinea pigs, ponies, goats and pigs, as well as a peacock and other birds. As the animal collection can change, check which animals are currently on view before visiting. Since opening in 1993, the ’t Kwekkeltje playground has been free to enter. The two destinations therefore have clearly different focuses: one centres on animals, the other is a free playground.

Getting there and planning your stay

To reach the Autotron, take the A59 between ’s-Hertogenbosch and Oss, exit at junction 50 Kruisstraat, then follow the signs to the Autotron.

If you are travelling for an event, plan around its date and factor in the journey to the Autotron. For a stay focused on cultural history, the mill, church, Coudewater and exhibition take centre stage instead. This lets you search for a hotel in Rosmalen based on your actual priorities, rather than trying to combine very different themes into a packed itinerary.
