MONUMENTEN
Monumenten vormen natuurlijk een belangrijke bron voor onze geschiedenis. Met monumenten duiden we gebouwen aan die een monumentstatus hebben of dit verdienen. Er zijn 34 rijksmonumenten in Nuenen, 3 in Gerwen en 8 in Nederwetten. Nuenen telt 52 gemeentelijke monumenten, Gerwen 4 en Nederwetten 13. Er zijn vier gemeentelijke dorpsgezichten en één rijksbeschermd dorpsgezicht.
Komend jaar willen we de wederopbouwarchitectuur in kaart brengen.
We volgen de ontwikkelingen rond de monumenten en de historisch stedenbouwkundige structuur in de gemeente en proberen zo nodig bij te sturen. Verder proberen we monumenten onder de aandacht te brengen door middel van publicaties. Zo is er in 2017 een boek uitgebracht over het Klooster. Het organiseren van de Open Monumentendag in het tweede weekend van september is een jaarlijks terugkerende activiteit.
De werkgroep Monumenten en Archeologie bestaat (eind 2021) uit drie leden. De leden hebben regelmatig contact met de gemeente op het gebied van het cultureel erfgoedbeleid.
We zouden graag nog meer activiteiten ontwikkelen, zoals rond Torendag, behoud van de resten van het Klooster Hooidonk, inventarisaties, educatie op scholen e.d. Maar daarvoor is uitbreiding, al dan niet op projectbasis, dringend gewenst.
De monumenten op deze website zijn onderverdeeld in 6 groepen:
- Door overheid en gemeente geregistreerde monumenten.
- Oude afgebroken gebouwen die een plaats op de monumentenlijst verdienen.
- Monumenten van het project Terugbeeld.
- Informatieborden (voormalige ANWB-borden).
- Oorlogsmonument (herdenkingsroute)
- Overige monumenten (beelden etc.).
Tevens was er nog het project ‘Monument van de maand 2018’. Klik op: Monument van de maand
De monumenten (excl. de Terugbeeld Informatiezuilen en Informatieborden) worden te zijner tijd ondergebracht in het collectiesysteem.
