Zundert (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈzʏndərt] ⓘ) is a municipality and town in the south of the Netherlands bordering Belgium, in the province of North Brabant.

The local monks, besides their religious labour, were also involved in clearing the land, that was still rough territory, filled with swamps, peats and heath fields.

At a small distance from the town, an old tavern called "In Den Anker" can be found, which has the oldest license in the Netherlands.

The Roman Catholic church of Zundert, dedicated to Saint Trudo, was built in 1927, and contains art treasures from the 17th century, coming from the St. Michielsabdij in Antwerp, including an original sculpture made by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens.

[5] These treasures consist of marble altar tables, three Alabaster sculptures, several paintings and two carved oaken confessionals.

The town had other mills in the past, one of them was a stone-mill called "De Eendracht", which stood on Moleneind, currently known as Poteind.

People can still visit the Dutch Reformed church built in 1806 in which the father of Vincent, Theodorus van Gogh, started preaching in 1849.

In letters to his brother Theo, Vincent recalls Zundert and its surroundings a few times when writing about childhood, serenity, and learning about life.

Rather than a classical museum, it is an active environment, with a presentation about van Gogh's life, interactive education, a documentation room and also permanent and temporary expositions.

Bloemencorso Zundert was first held in 1936, in honor of then-queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, making it the oldest hugely elaborate flower parade in Europe.

Every year, the parade commences on the first Sunday of September with the floats remaining on show for the subsequent Monday (considered a holiday by the inhabitants).

Huge, impressive lorry mounted sculptures covered in thousands of dahlia flowers parade through the town.

Limitations on the size and maximum dimensions of the floats were first defined in 1989, ensuring safe passage of the parade through the streets of Zundert.

The twenty heralds are credited with having their own culture, identity, flag and dahlia fields in and around the municipality, used to decorate the floats for the parade.

[9] On 13 October 2012, the Bloemencorso Zundert became the first Dutch tradition on the national inventory of the UNESCO Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage, ratified by the Netherlands on 15 May 2012.
