Nuenen is a charming village located in the southern Netherlands, in the province of North Brabant. This small community, with a population of around 23,000, is perhaps best known for its connection to the famous Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, who lived and worked here from 1883 to 1885. During his time in Nuenen, Van Gogh created some of his early masterpieces, including "The Potato Eaters."
The village retains much of its rural character, with picturesque landscapes that inspired Van Gogh's work still visible today. Nuenen's cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with the artist's legacy, and visitors can explore this connection at the Vincentre, a museum dedicated to Van Gogh's time in the area. The village also features several locations that appear in Van Gogh's paintings, offering art enthusiasts a unique opportunity to see the real-life inspirations for his work.
Beyond its Van Gogh connection, Nuenen offers a glimpse into traditional Dutch village life. The area is known for its beautiful nature reserves, including the Nuenens Broek and the Collse Watermolen, a historic watermill. The village center, with its quaint shops and cafes, provides a peaceful atmosphere for both residents and visitors.
