Van Goghkerkje, Reformed church in Zundert, Netherlands
Description
The Van Goghkerkje is a white Protestant church with a bell tower located at Van Goghplein, with its main structure dating from 1805. Its interior retains the original pulpit and baptismal font from that era.
History
Vincent van Gogh's father, Theodorus van Gogh, became pastor here in 1849 and baptized his son Vincent in 1853 within these walls. The building itself emerged during a period closely tied to the family's early years.
Culture
The graveyard connects visitors to the Van Gogh family roots and draws those interested in the artist's personal history. A burial site here links the building directly to Vincent's early life and family bonds.
Practical
The building remains an active place for worship and occasional concerts welcoming visitors throughout the year. It sits in an easily walkable location near the village center, close to other sites of interest connected to Van Gogh.
Did you know?
The church preserves two silver communion cups from 1766, nearly 40 years older than the building itself. These treasured items reveal how the congregation maintained its religious traditions through generations.
