Heeze: Kempen Village with a Castle and the Strabrechtse Heide
Kasteel Heeze, one of the largest castles in North Brabant, has dominated this village since the 13th century. The current building dates largely from the 17th century and is privately owned but occasionally open for tours. About 9,945 people live in Heeze, the main settlement within the gemeente Heeze-Leende in the Kempen region.
The Strabrechtse Heide, one of the largest remaining heathland areas in the Netherlands, stretches west of the village. The fen pools and wet heathland attract migratory birds and dragonflies. The centre around the Kapelstraat has a village character with independent shops. The proximity to Eindhoven, about 10 kilometres northwest, makes Heeze attractive for commuters who prefer a quieter setting. Geldrop lies roughly 5 kilometres north.
