Zundert

À propos

Zundert, a picturesque municipality in the southern Netherlands, holds significant cultural importance as the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh. Born in 1853, the Post-Impressionist master's legacy is commemorated throughout the town. Visitors can explore the Vincent van Gogh House, an interactive center featuring exhibitions and educational experiences rather than a conventional museum. The town preserves important connections to Van Gogh's early life, including the Dutch Reformed church where his father preached and a striking bronze monument by Ossip Zadkine depicting Vincent and his brother Theo. Beyond its artistic heritage, Zundert stands as an agricultural powerhouse, contributing approximately 10% of the Netherlands' total nursery production, with particular strengths in strawberry cultivation and field-grown trees.
