Where to stay in Tongelre
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rivers set the edges here. A bed in Tongelre puts the Sint-Martinuskerk and the Ontmoetingskerk inside the borough, with Huis te Coll on the same list, and the rest of Eindhoven beginning across the Dommel. Stratum and Geldrop lie over the Eindhovensch Kanaal, and Nuenen sits beyond the Kleine Dommel for guests willing to book outside the city altogether. Woensel holds the far bank of the Dommel.

About Tongelre
What are the main landmarks in Tongelre?
Three names carry the borough. The Sint-Martinuskerk is the parish church of Tongelre, the Ontmoetingskerk stands under a second dedication, and Huis te Coll is the one entry on the list that is a house rather than a church. Water supplies the rest.
The Dommel, the Kleine Dommel and the Eindhovensch Kanaal draw most of the boundary, which makes them as much a fixture of Tongelre as anything built on it.
What is the history of Tongelre?
Tongelre was a village apart. It sat east of Eindhoven as a settlement of its own before the city took it in as a borough, and the Sint-Martinuskerk carries the parish name of that village. Huis te Coll appears on the register under Eindhoven.
The borders were never drawn by streets: the Eindhovensch Kanaal, the Dommel and the Kleine Dommel did that work, marking Tongelre off from Stratum, Woensel, Geldrop and Nuenen.
Where is Tongelre?
Waterways make most of Tongelre's borders, with the Dommel toward Woensel, the Kleine Dommel toward Nuenen and the Eindhovensch Kanaal toward Stratum.
