Veluwe Heritage & History

The Veluwe's landscape is shaped by a diverse architectural and military history, ranging from 10th-century ringforts to Art Deco industrialism. This collection highlights medieval strongholds like Doorwerth and Rosendael alongside the modern masterpieces of the Kröller-Müller Museum. Key sites include the Berlage-designed Jachthuis Sint Hubertus, the historic battlegrounds of Oosterbeek, and the unique industrial heritage of Radio Kootwijk. These twenty locations offer a comprehensive look at the region's evolution from a ducal hunting ground to a center of Dutch art and innovation.
