Where to stay in Stratum

Stratum earns a visit before it earns a booking. The Eindhoven Museum, PreHistorisch Dorp and Ton Smits Huis all sit inside the borough, and the swimming and indoor sports venues bring their own crowds, yet the streets around them are residential. Stratum sends you elsewhere for a bed.
Eindhoven's centre is the practical base, close enough that Stratum works as a day's outing.

About Stratum
What are the main landmarks in Stratum?
Stratum carries an unusual concentration for a borough. The Eindhoven Museum and the PreHistorisch Dorp reconstruct the region's early settlement, Ton Smits Huis keeps the cartoonist's work, and the Pieter van den Hoogenband Swim Stadium draws competitive swimming. Witte Dorp is the architectural set piece, an estate of two-storey and three-storey rows.
Churches punctuate the rest. Sint-Joriskerk, the Opstandingskerk and Gerardus Majella each anchor a parish, and the Annexatiemonument and Radio Memorial mark moments the borough chose to record.
What is the history of Stratum?
Village first, borough later. Stratum stood as its own community in North Brabant until Eindhoven's expansion drew it and the neighbouring municipalities into a single city, a change the Annexatiemonument records in stone. Witte Dorp belongs to the later phase, row after row of two-storey houses laid out together, while the PreHistorisch Dorp reconstructs a settlement far older than any parish here.
Where is Stratum?
A former village of North Brabant, Stratum forms one of the seven boroughs that make up Eindhoven, and the old village name still labels the whole borough.
