Nieuwe Kostersbrug over De Grift is the transition from the shopping area. Historical interpretation: With its fast-flowing, clear water, the Grift was not only an important economic artery of Apeldoorn, the Grift was also a defining feature for centuries. Bridges over the Grift served as landmarks in the city centre. For example, the Kostebeinsbrugtje from the Brinklaan was the beginning of the Hofstraat and the Kosterbrug from the Hofstraat the beginning of the Dorpstraat. In the fifties of the last century, many parts of the Grift were narrowed, filled in or moved underground for the widening of roads and for the construction of new shops and homes. As a result, the water disappeared from view. Due to its cultural-historical value, among other things, the Grift has been opened up above ground or dug again in many places since 2002. As a result, one of the carriers of the development and structure of Apeldoorn is once again a visible part of the city centre. With the ambition to turn the Apeldoorn city centre into a large city park, water in the city is of course a must. Triggered? Want to know more about this special watercourse?

This Street Art work was created by Belgian artist Gijs Vanhee in collaboration with DZIA in 2013. Ironically enough, the eagle and snake were victims of graffiti artists a few years ago.

Around the Red Beech, three granite benches are placed in a circle. On each bench, three lines of the poem The Red Beech by Rutger Kopland (1934-2012) are placed. He wrote that poem in 2007 for Apeldoorn as an ode to the red beech. It later became the first poem in his book of poems ‘When I saw this’. The beech and the benches are the result of a poetry project from 2009 initiated by Karla de Boer of the Phidias Foundation.

Situated in the villa district De Parken, a nationally protected town and village view, is this unique former pharmacy, which was restored and renovated to a high standard in 2014. This municipal monument has now been completely transformed into an office villa. The building was built in 1897 by architect C.M. Gardenier and served as the Hulp- en Spaarbank. This institution provided advances to ‘industrious residents of this municipality’ for the purchase of cows, sheep, potatoes and ‘animal feed’. In 1930, the building was sold to pharmacist L.C.G. Douwes Dekker, who in turn sold it to pharmacist C.C. de Maar in 1943. Since then, the building has been popularly known as the Pharmacy. This rich history has been brought back in a contemporary way in the current office design. Source: https://grehamer.com/project/kerklaan-16/

The large bronze artwork 'Nutcrackerrr' was created by the artist duo SpaceCowboys. The head of 'Nutcrackerrr' is that of a friendly squirrel and the body is that of an 8-year-old boy. The sculpture also refers to another aspect of the environment: in the city and on the Veluwe, the squirrel is a frequently seen animal. The squirrel is known as a performer that attracts attention and that is why this artwork fits so well in this cultural and entertainment area. Always fun to have your picture taken with Nutcrackerrr.
