Van Gogh church

Built in 1884, this huge flour mill still stands open in the fields just north of Nuenen, ten minutes by foot away from the city center. Even after renovations in 1971 and 1995 a lot of the inner workings are still original. Voluntary millers will give you a tour upon request. The mill is still used for flower production and products are sold in the shop.

A unique feature of Nuenen and the surroundings is that it can be viewed as an Outdoor Museum with many reminders of Van Gogh. The Outdoor Museum comprises no fewer than 21 locations, all of which have a direct bearing on Vincent's two-year stay in Nuenen. Of these 21 objects, 14 were painted or drawn by Vincent on one or more occasion. The other 7 locations were not painted but were mostly the houses where his models lived. Information columns have been installed at 17 of these locations with audio commentary (in English too).

A watermill whose history dates back to the eleventh century. The present buildings date from 1743. The interior, including a cramming for pressing linseed, is still present. The miller's house is from the 17th or 18th century. This undershot mill has the largest waterwheel of North Brabant, with a diameter of 9.30 m. Vincent van Gogh painted this mill repeatedly.

An educational zoo specially for children with elephants, monkeys, bears, lions, tigers, birds, etc.
