Van Gogh Church Nuenen
Vincent van Gogh’s father preached in this church in Nuenen.
This Dutch Reformed church was built in the years 1824–1826. It still possesses a copper baptismal font from Vincent’s time.
On 3 February 1884, Vincent made a painting of this church for his mother. Later, after the death of his father in March 1885, he painted over this work and added mourning figures. The painting was stolen in 2002 from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. In the autumn of 2016 it was found again in a mafia house near Naples (Italy). After restoration, it can now once again be admired in the museum in Amsterdam.
The church is usually closed to the public, but can occasionally be visited.
