The young painter Vincent van Gogh spent most of his time in Drenthe. In the autumn of 1883 he stayed with Scholte in Nieuw-Amsterdam. Today, Scholte's hostel is known as the Van Gogh House (Van Gogh Huis). The drawbridge in Nieuw-Amsterdam is probably the most popular work that Van Gogh created during his stay in Nieuw-Amsterdam. According to oral tradition, Van Gogh, who stayed in Nieuw-Amsterdam for a while, paid the rent with his paintings, but the landlord could not estimate their value and burned them.
The municipality of Emmen decided to demolish the building, but at the last moment this decision was reversed. Today it houses a café and a museum.

At the Van Gogh House in Nieuw-Amsterdam/Veenoord, you'll be drawn into the story of Vincent van Gogh during his stay in Drenthe. His journey as an artist, his admiration for the Drenthe landscape, and the people and surroundings he captured in his sketches, paintings, and letters to his brother Theo.

Only at this location is the only publicly accessible building where Vincent van Gogh actually lived, ate, and slept, still preserved in its original state. Vincent's room is a real draw. His bed, his wood-burning stove, and certainly his balcony overlooking the bridge he painted. That view is now even more special thanks to a large mural on the Veenoord silo.
