Park Zypendaal

Park Zypendaal is a historic park and Rijksmonument complex in Arnhem with rolling terrain covered by coniferous and deciduous forests, open meadows, and several ponds. Water from the Sint-Jansbeek stream feeds these water features and creates an interconnected network throughout the grounds.

The grounds were originally used as agricultural land before landscape architect Eduard Petzold transformed it into a designed garden in 1864. This redesign created the park's thoughtful layout of paths and water features that visitors see today.

The manor house Huis Zypendaal from the 18th century sits at the heart of the park, displaying Dutch architecture through its main building and outbuildings such as the coach house and orangery. These structures and their surroundings reflect how wealthy families lived and organized their estates during that era.

The park has designated walking paths accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, making it easy to navigate while visiting. Parking is available at Zijpendaalseweg near the main entrance at Huis Zypendaal.

The Sint-Jansbeek stream originates within the park grounds itself, making this location a natural water source that flows through the entire area. Visitors can discover where the water actually begins and follow its path as it moves through different sections.
