Protestant church, cemetery and 'Ropsentuin'
The first child of Vincent van Gogh’s parents was born, but it was not viable. It was buried at this Protestant church.
Exactly one year later Vincent van Gogh was born. All Van Gogh children were baptized in the Protestant church, designed by architect Herman Huijsers and built in 1805. The church earned income through the sale of wood, for which it also grew trees in the Ropsentuin, named after the then-owner Hendrik Rops.
