Schijndel is a charming village in the North of Brabant, part of the municipality of Meierijstad.
Here you will find a mix of history, culture, and beautiful nature. Below are three highlights you should not miss.
The Glass Farm is Schijndel’s most iconic building, designed by the world-famous architecture firm MVRDV. Its glass façade shows an oversized image of a traditional Dutch farmhouse. Inside you will find restaurants, shops, and a library. A perfect place to experience both modern design and local atmosphere.
This historic windmill from 1845 is still in operation today. Visitors are welcome on Saturdays to explore the mill, learn about traditional grain milling, and even buy freshly ground flour. It’s a great way to discover Dutch heritage up close.
Just outside Schijndel lies the Wijboschbroek,a green area with forests, meadows, and waterways. It is ideal for cycling and walking, offering peace and beautiful views of the Brabant countryside. Perfect for nature lovers and outdoor activities.
