About Malburgen West
What are the main landmarks in Malburgen West?
Everything the register gives Malburgen West is one church. The Bonifatiuskerk is the Malburgen West entry on the Arnhem register, while the wider list, St Eusebius' Church, the John Frost Bridge, Museum Arnhem, stands over in the older city, a short run from these streets. Sightseeing means a crossing.
That shapes a day here more than any single monument does.
What is the history of Malburgen West?
Names come in pairs here. Malburgen West and Malburgen Oost split one older name between them, and the Bonifatiuskerk is the piece of built history the register singles out on this side of the pair. Documentation runs thin.
The longer written record belongs to Arnhem, provincial capital of Gelderland, whose institutions and monuments accumulated well before either half of Malburgen was laid out.
Where is Malburgen West?
Malburgen West is one half of Malburgen within the Arnhem municipality, a city built on both banks of the Nederrijn.
