Cycling

This accessible cycling route around Etten-Leur is ideal for those who want to discover the Brabant landscape and the Van Gogh story in a relaxed way. You'll cycle through peaceful rural areas and past places that tell of Vincent's time in the region.

The route starts on the outskirts of Etten-Leur and takes you along country roads and the beautiful Markdijk dike, with a short gravel section for a touch of adventure. A lovely break is at the Lamgatsebrug bridge, with views over the water and a tranquil harbor nearby.

Back in Etten-Leur, delve into Van Gogh's past. In the market square, you'll find the old town hall and an impressive Van Gogh wall with reproductions of his drawings, including his famous self-portrait.

An absolute must-see is the Van Gogh Church, formerly St. Catherine's Church. Vincent's father was a minister here for seven years, and today, through exhibitions and an information center, you can discover how Van Gogh's artistic practice took shape in Etten-Leur.

Afterwards, you can relax on a terrace in the town center or continue your journey. With a train station and ample parking, Etten-Leur is a convenient starting and ending point for this inspiring tour.

Van Gogh Church (Catharina Church) Etten-Leur

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Catherine's Church in Etten-Leur, also known as the Town Hall Church and now the Van Gogh Church, has a rich history dating back to 1261. The church has been rebuilt and adapted several times, including after its destruction during the Eighty Years' War and the collapse of its tower in 1732. The building took on its current form in 1821. Since 1970, after a renovation, the church has been used as a meeting hall for the municipal council. Since 2014, it has been the Van Gogh Church, where visitors can learn more about Van Gogh's time in Etten through information panels and an adjacent information center.
