The Van Gogh Church you are standing in front of now used to be the church where Vincent's father, Pastor Theodorus van Gogh, preached. In 2014, this former Dutch Reformed Church was officially renamed Van Gogh Church, a tribute to Vincent and his family. The church houses a permanent exhibition that introduces you to Vincent's Etten period.
If you walk to the back of the church, you will see the Van Gogh garden. This is where the rectory used to stand. The back of the rectory had an extension, which Vincent was allowed to use as a study and later as a studio. Besides the garden, you will also find a bronze statue of Vincent behind the church. At the audio column, Vincent takes you on his walks through Etten.
