About Klarendal
Where to stay in Klarendal
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds here sit close to the Arnhem centre. Rooms in and around Klarendal put the shopfronts of Bakkerstraat and the open square at Jansplein within an easy walk, which suits travellers who want the city on foot rather than a car park by the door. Café Meijers anchors the evening trade.
Quieter streets run back toward the Vrijzinnig Hervormde Kerk and the Agnietenkapel, where the pace drops off.
About Klarendal
What are the main landmarks in Klarendal?
The Agnietenkapel is the oldest note on the list. Around it the Arnhem register runs through the Koepelkerk, the Sint-Martinuskerk, Sint Jan de Doper and the Evangelisch-Lutherse Kerk, a set of church buildings standing within a short radius of Klarendal. Two museums sit close by.
The Historical Museum of Arnhem and the Wine Museum Arnhem both keep addresses near the district, while the Presickhaeffs Huis, the Arnhemse Burgerweeshuis, the Belvédère and Zonneweelde fill out the monument roll.
What is the history of Klarendal?
Arnhem took its charter in 1233. Klarendal's own past is legible in fabric rather than in dates, in the protected house-fronts on Cronjestraat and Parkstraat and in the brickwork of the Brusselse Huizen, all of them entered on the register that guards the city's older streets. The Presickhaeffs Huis carries the civic line.
Trade left marks of its own, among them Café Meijers and the listed shop with two upper dwellings and railings on the Arnhem roll.
Where is Klarendal?
Klarendal lies within Arnhem, the Gelderland capital that grew along the Nederrijn and the Sint-Jansbeek.
