King William II always supported Tilburg; He provided money to improve the sheep breeding, built new farms and founded a cavalry barracks. Although the King was always made welcome by the manufacturers he had befriended, he needed his own residence in Tilburg, and commissioned the construction of a palace, which would function as his country residence. Construction started in 1847 and was completed just days before William II died, in 1849. It is now part of Tilburg City Hall.

In 1987 an obelisk was erected nearby, in memory of King William II. It replaced the old “needle” dating from 1874, which was removed from the street in 1968. After its restoration, William II’s statue has got a place again in the heart of the city, where he felt happy among its inhabitants.
