Zundert, Administrative municipality in North Brabant, Netherlands.
Zundert is a municipality in North Brabant in southern Netherlands that spans across a rural area. The location is mostly flat and sits just above sea level, with a village structure where residential areas, farmland, and small green spaces blend together.
The settlement received its first written mention in 1157 in a donation document from the Bishop of Liege under the name Sunderda. Over centuries, the place grew from a small village into an independent community with its own local identity.
The Bloemencorso flower parade brings neighborhoods together each year to build and display massive floats decorated with thousands of locally grown dahlia flowers. This celebration shapes how residents see their community and draws visitors eager to see the intricate floral displays.
Visitors can reach Zundert easily from nearby towns and cities by road. Since it is a rural municipality, it helps to plan ahead for visiting key spots like the Van Gogh House and the flower parade to make the most of your time.
The Van Gogh House marks the birthplace of the famous painter, born here in 1853, and his family lived in the area for a time. The house offers glimpses into his early years before he pursued his artistic career.
