Postcard from Arnhem

Postcard from Arnhem

Rosendael castle, Arnhem. Postcard sent in 1903. Only the donjon remains from the original late-medieval castle, the house in front dates from the 18th century. The park was redesigned in the 19th century.

The castle and park were heavily damaged in the second world war and neglected afterwards. It was restored in the 1980s, and house and park are now open to the public.

Look here or here to compare the postcard with the current situation.
