Valkhof, Historical park in Benedenstad, Nijmegen, Netherlands
The Valkhof stretches across elevated grounds above the Waal River, containing two preserved medieval chapels and remnants of an ancient palace complex.
The site gained prominence when Charlemagne established a palace in the 8th century, followed by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa's expansion in 1155.
The Sint Nicolaaskapel, a 16-sided structure within the park, represents a rare example of Byzantine architectural influence in the Netherlands.
The park connects directly to two museums, De Bastei and Valkhof Museum, with paved pathways suitable for walking throughout the grounds.
A World War II bunker remains on the premises, displaying information panels about the liberation of Nijmegen during the Battle of Arnhem.
