Deep in the woods near Esbeek lies the former summer home of Andreas Schotel, the Rotterdam graphic artist who found his inspiration here in the first half of the 20th century. Schotel fell in love with rural Brabant and spent every summer there drawing, painting, and etching. His work captured the simple farm life: plowman with horse, farmers threshing, and the quiet rhythm of the countryside.

The wooden summer house, simply built and surrounded by pines and heathland, still exudes the atmosphere of that time. Here, Schotel worked in peace, far from the bustle of the city, observing and capturing the surroundings.

During a walk in this area, you not only walk through a beautiful stretch of Rovertsche Heide but also through a living piece of cultural history. The summer house is a reminder of the deep connection between art and landscape, and of the way nature can inspire artists.

Esbeek continues to honor Andreas Schotel with a museum and an art route through the area, where his works are placed within the landscape. This way the memory of the artist and his special summer spot remains alive.
