Schijndel: Brabant Village Where Jeroen Bosch's Name Originates
Schijndel counts about 23,240 residents and lies in North Brabant between 's-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven. The village forms part of the gemeente Meierijstad since 2017. Schijndel's claim to art history lies in its proximity to 's-Hertogenbosch: the painter Jheronimus Bosch took his name from that city, but the wider Meierij region, including Schijndel, formed his world. The DELA-gebouw, a striking modern funeral building designed by Zaha Hadid's firm, brings contemporary architecture to an otherwise traditional Brabant centre.
Dairy farming and food processing characterise the local economy. The centre around the Markt has a village scale. The surrounding landscape is flat Brabant sand country with scattered forest patches and heathland remnants.
's-Hertogenbosch is about 15 kilometres north. Eindhoven lies roughly 20 kilometres south. Veghel is approximately 10 kilometres east.
