Van Gogh National Park (Dutch: Van Gogh Nationaal Park) is a Dutch national park in the province of Noord-Brabant. The plan for the park was presented on 30 March 2021.[2] On 14 October 2024 it received the actual National Park status.[3]
The park would consist of several natural areas in the province of North Brabant, including De Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park and Het Groene Woud.[4] The park is located between the cities of 's-Hertogenbosch, Helmond, Eindhoven, Tilburg and Breda. In addition to nature, the park is intended to promote cultural heritage, sustainability, as well as the local economy.[5]
The project is named after painter Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), a native of North Brabant who worked and lived in a number of locations within the area it would cover.[6]
