Van der Aa houses

Christ van der Aa: A Pioneer in the Leather Industry
Christ van der Aa, born in 1885, was the founder and first director of the tannery that would later become known as KVL. As the son of a horse hide tanner from Tilburg, Christ learned the trade in his father's factory. As an adult, he settled in Oisterwijk, where his wife Cornelia van de Ven lived and was determined to stay. Christ and his family lived on De Lind in Oisterwijk. The house next door was occupied by the deputy director of KVL.

De Lind 39 and 41 – Stunning National Monument
The double residence with carriage entrance is located on the north side of De Lind and overlooks the so-called Wedding Lane or Maria Lane. Built in the late 19th century, the building features a modest eclectic architectural style. Today, the right-side house serves as an office, while the left-side house beside the carriage entrance is vacant. The right house includes a veranda from 1924 and a large dormer window—both added later.
