Wallsteijn estate

To the south of De Moeren lies Wallsteijn estate. In the middle of a landscaped park with English Court stands a white-plastered villa built at the beginning of the nineteenth century by order of Frederik van de Wall, mayor of Zundert.

His son Louis van de Wall (1851-1936), in addition to being mayor, was for many years church warden of the Dutch Reformed Church in Zundert. He bequeathed the entire wealth and assets of his family to the Ad Usus Pios Foundation ("Tot vroom gebruik"), which supports the activities of the Protestant church in Zundert.

He was also master builder of the new rectory erected in 1904 on the site of Vincent's birthplace.

Vincent's mother also contributed to the financing of this construction. Since 2008, it has housed the Vincent van GoghHuis.
