Bronbeek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bronbeek is a former royal palace in Arnhem, Netherlands. It is now a museum and a home for elderly soldiers.
Bronbeek was built early in the 19th century. In 1845 William III of the Netherlands bought it.[citation needed] He donated it to the Dutch state in 1859 and it became a home for disabled KNIL soldier three years later.[1] The inhabitants took their collections of 'souvenirs' with them. This turned into a museum about the Dutch East Indies.
In 2004, 50 former soldiers had their home in Bronbeek.[citation needed]
