The Vincent van GoghHuis: a living arts centre in the birthplace of Brabant’s most famous artist ever, stands on the spot where Vincent van Gogh came into the world on 30 March 1853. The protestant Van Gogh spent his childhood years in catholic Zundert, not far from the Belgian border. A reticent and introvert boy, he was educated at home and it soon became clear that Vincent was ‘different’.
This location was the former parsonage of the Dutch Reformed Church. It was here that Vincent van Gogh was born. He lived here until he was sixteen. His childhood home has been demolished, and now you can visit the Vincent van Gogh House.
Discover the origins of Vincent's personality and artistry, and that of his fellow artists, both past and present. One of his dreams has been realized here: a place for the art of the future.
