Heeze Castle can be reached via a splendid drive. It is at three sides surrounded by canals and consists of two parts, the medieval castle and the newer Eymerick 17th-century castle built between 1660-1655. Although the castle is inhabited, it is open to visitors. It has about thirty rooms, including a number of fine style rooms. There is a strange bathroom with a rare bathtub with a 17th-century Goblin tapestries, including some that show scenes from the life of Alexander the Great.
Heeze Castle is situated in the Netherlands, south of Eindhoven. It used to be the centre of the seigneury of Heeze, Leende and Zesgehuchten, part of the Duchy of Brabant. In the Middle Ages, it was owned by the de Horne family. In the seventeenth Century Pieter Post designed a new castle, of which the first part was built in 1665. After Pieter Post died, the work was completed by his son Maurits Post.

The Roman Catholic church was built between 1889 and 1891 to a design by architect Carl Weber. Weber inspired the church at the Minster Church in Roermond. It is a strong neo-Romanesque cruciform church with towers and a large dome. The towers on the front are 71 m high and topped by a spire on four gables. The church has a tubular choir and transepts. Besides the dome are built two towers on both sides. The interior of the church is carried out in different colour bricks. Above the cross is the huge dome that has an internal height of approximately 40 meters. The church is one of Weber's most important work to date and is used by Brigida Parish in Geldrop.
