Oosterbeek

Oosterbeek is a village in the eastern part of Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Renkum in the province of Gelderland, about 5 km west of Arnhem.

The oldest part of Oosterbeek is the Benedendorp, on the northern bank of the Lower Rhine. One landmark in the village is the Hervormde Kerk, which has certain architectural sections that date back to the second half of the 10th century.

Oosterbeek was a separate municipality until 1818, when the area was divided between Doorwerth and the village of Renkum. In the 19th century, several mansions were built on the higher ground to the north of the old village. One of these mansions, called De Hemelse Berg, was destroyed in 1944.
