History
The Heilig-Landstichting was founded in 1911 to give an overview of the time of the Bible and Palestina. In 1913, construction started, and since 2007 it is called Museumpark Orientalis.[3] It used to be a little agricultural hamlet called De Ploeg. A village developed around the museum in along the roads.[4] A convent was constructed in 1915. A basilicum was originally planned, but cancelled.[5] After World War II, the village developed a more dense core.[4]
