About Gulden Bodem

What are the main landmarks in Gulden Bodem?

Huis Zypendaal heads the list. Around it the Gulden Bodem entries read as an inventory of houses, Casa Bianca and Anna Jacoba and the Twee herenhuizen among them, together with numbered addresses at Zijpendaalseweg 71 and Zijpendaalseweg 87, protected one door at a time. The Lorentz Memorial differs.

So does the Nederlands Watermuseum, which gives the district a public interior instead of another façade, and the register even holds a Gulden Bodem house built as a kit.

What is the history of Gulden Bodem?

Ownership drew this street plan. Huis Zypendaal is the oldest name on the Gulden Bodem list, and the houses that came after it, Casa Bianca and Anna Jacoba and the pair recorded as Twee herenhuizen, mark out ground taken up by households with means rather than by workshops. Public use arrived later.

The Nederlands Watermuseum belongs to that later layer, while the Lorentz Memorial preserves a name Arnhem chose to keep.

Where is Gulden Bodem?

Gulden Bodem is an Arnhem district known by its Zijpendaalseweg addresses and by Huis Zypendaal at the head of the list.
