Arnhem is a city in the province of
Gelderland situated in the eastern part of the Netherlands. It
is located near the river Nederrijn as well as near the St. Jansbeek,
which was the source of the city's development. The Groote Kerk
built between 1452–1560, lost most of its tower during World
War II, a part of which has been reconstructed to a modern design
and opened in 1964. The National Heritage Museum (Nederlands
Openluchtmuseum) is located outside the city. It is an open air
museum and park with antique houses, farms, and factories from
different parts of the Netherlands. |

Gelderland is one of the oldest and
largest Dutch Provinces, located in the central eastern part
of the country. It occupies an area extending from the German
border westward to the narrow Lake Veluwe (separating Gelderland
from several polders of Flevoland province) between the provinces
of Overijssel (north) and Noord-Brabant, Zuid-Holland, and Utrecht
(south). The capital city is Arnhem, although the two other major
cities, Nijmegen and Apeldoorn have more inhabitants. The city
of Arnhem is a remarkable place, where traces of World War II
can still be found. Places to visit include the National Park
'De Hoge Veluwe' and its Kröller-Müller Museum, the
castles of Doorwerth and Ammersoyen, the Nederlands Openluchtmuseum
(Dutch Open Air Museum) Arnhem, Apenheul (Primate Park, Apeldoorn)
and Ouwehands Dierenpark (Zoo, Rhenen). |
