History of the Reformed Congregation of Heeze
The history of the Reformed Congregation of Heeze is closely linked to the Castle in Heeze. From 1659, the castle was inhabited by Protestant lords who were actively involved with the church and brought many laborers and tenants from other (Protestant) regions to Heeze. These "immigrants" and their descendants form the original core of the congregation. In the late 1950s, the villages increasingly became commuter towns, leading to the growth of the church congregation.
History of the Heeze Chapel
The Protestant Church on Kapelstraat in Heeze is a distinctive and recognizable building. Located across from the well-known café "De Zwaan" and with a straight road leading to the castle, this church occupies a prominent position in the village. Anyone who visits Heeze sees the building standing there. This church has been there for over a hundred years, but previously, there was also a church on the same site. The history of this church is strongly connected with the castle, as well as with the village of Heeze. The church is a characteristic building that stands out and has a rich history.
