Sightseeing Tours in Arnhem1. Sonsbeek
Park Sonsbeek in Arnhem is the most famous park in this city. The park is named after Anna van Sonsbeeck, a considerable 'Dame' in the Arnhem community in the 17th century. Anna's father, Franciscus van Sonsbeeck, comes from the German town of Sonsbeck or Sonsbeeck. Above the main entrance of the Lutheran church in Sonsbeeck, built in 1655, you can still find the city coat of arms: a sun with a few corrugated lines underneath that represent a stream. The park is 67 ha in size and borders the Zijpendaal and Gulden Bodem parks to the north. These three parks are closely connected and together they are about 200 ha in size. In the east, Sonsbeek borders the districts Sonsbeekkwartier and St. Marten, in the south almost the center and in the west the Burgemeesterswijk. The area is a protected cityscape.
2. Lutherse Kerk
The Lutheran Church is a former Lutheran church building on the Korenmarkt in the Dutch city of Arnhem. The church was built on the site where the house Bontenburch had stood until then. In this house, which became increasingly dilapidated, Lutheran faith meetings had been held since 1657. In the period 1735 - 1737, the hall church was built in classicist architectural style, probably to the design of the Arnhem architect Leendert Viervant the Elder. The façade is set up according to the Ionic architectural style with a large pediment at the top. This is decorated in the Louis XIV style. The capital rests on columns that have been imitated around the building. Above the entrance is an image of a swan as a sign of the Lutheran faith.
3. Presickhaeffs Huys
The Presickhaeffs Huys is a medieval house in the center of Arnhem on the Kerkstraat, which according to research was built in the year 1354.

Then in 1795 it was a tea house and from 1915-1944 a café with meeting rooms. Partly due to the many destructions that were caused in the center of Arnhem during the Battle of Arnhem in the Second World War, this is one of the few medieval houses that Arnhem still owns.
