    This tower was named as a viewing tower on postcards that can be found in the Gelders Archive: geldersarchief.nl/brons/foto-s-en-films?mivast=37&miadt=37&mizig=284&miview=gal&mizk_alle=uitzichttoren%20bilderberg %20sun hill road

    You can also read about the tower here: heemkunderenkum.nl/watertoren-zonneheuvelweg-oosterbeek. In 1938 you could climb the tower for 10ct for the beautiful view.

    Interesting detail, in WWII lived here opposite an NSB member, who fled in September 1944 and handed over all his food supply to the neighbourhood. From the diary of Miep van den Brink, published in the Schoutambt en Heerlijkheid September 2018 (Heemkunde Renkum)
