Centrum (also referred to as Binnenstad) is an area in Tilburg known for being composed of a single district. As Tilburg's largest shopping areas such as Emmapassage are found here, as well as entertainment venues, Centrum serves both as residential and commercial space - it houses theaters (013 and Paradox), parks such as Citypark de Oude Dijk as well as cinemas like Pathe Cinecitta as well as parking garages as well as being home to Tilburg Station and Tourist Information Center among many other amenities.
Centrum dates back to the 1600s when Tilburg played an instrumental role in Dutch wool trade and developed into a significant hub. Tilburg was predominantly Catholic at this time; several churches can still be found today within its boundaries. By the late 19th century however, Tilburg had grown significantly due to its successful textile industry; many grand homes built by factory owners still can be seen throughout Centrum today.
Centrum boasts several notable buildings, such as the former Royal Palace built for King William II in 1849 and later converted to secondary schools and city hall. The exterior features English neo-Tudor features while its interior exhibits art deco features. Tilburg City Museum houses Vincent van Gogh's drawing studio here, while Heuvelse Church sits prominently on Heuvelplein as both Tilburg's tallest church and one of the Netherlands's largest neo-Gothic structures. The Heikese Church, dating back to 1430 and dedicated to Saint Dionysius, stands as one of Tilburg's oldest structures, starting construction around 1430 and completed some 300 years later. Over time, various elements were added to it and its purpose changed accordingly. Other smaller religious buildings can be found dotted throughout Centrum such as Protestant Paulus Church or Our Lady in Distress Chapel which serves as both war monument and war memorial.
