What is Bronbeek?
'''Bronbeek''' is a former Royal [[palace]] in [[Arnhem]], [[the Netherlands]]. It is now a [[museum]] and a home for [[elderly]] [[soldiers]]. Bronbeek was built early [[19th century]]. In [[1845]] the Dutch [[King William III]] bought Bronbeek. He donated it to the Dutch state in [[1859]]. William wanted it to be a home for disabled [[KNIL]] soldiers. The inhabitants took their collections of 'souvenirs' with them. This turned into a museum about the [[Dutch East Indies]]. In [[2004]] 50 former soldiers have their home in Bronbeek. {{Commonscat|Bronbeek}} [[Category:Buildings and structures in the Netherlands]] [[Category:Arnhem]]
