Nuenen with Vincent's Painting of Nuenen Church
A Side by Side of The Real Nuenen Church and One of Vincent's Paintings

Nuenen Church

This is the church which Vincent captured in many paintings and sketches, as well as in Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen (1884-1885, oil on canvas). When the Van Goghs moved to Nuenen, this was the church where Vincent's father, Theodorus, became pastor.

Vincentre

Vincentre is an “outdoor museum” centered around places where Vincent painted or places included in his work. As Vincent created about a quarter of his total artworks while staying in Nuenen, there are over 21 buildings and landscapes that speak to those with a discerning eye for Van Gogh.

Vincentre Museum
“Two rooms — one large and one small — en suite. ... I believe I’ll be able to work a good deal more pleasantly there than in the little room at home.”

- Vincent in a letter to Theo after settling in Nuenen
