The Anne Frank tree in Neerijnen is a special and symbolic monument that commemorates Anne Frank and the tragedy of the Holocaust. It is a cutting of the original horse chestnut that stood at the Secret Annex in Amsterdam, where Anne Frank and her family were in hiding during the Second World War. ### Background of the original tree The original Anne Frank tree was a white horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and stood in the garden behind the Secret Annex. Anne mentioned this tree several times in her diary, in which she described how she could see it from the small window of the hiding place. For her, the tree was a symbol of hope and freedom in a time of great fear and uncertainty. Unfortunately, the original tree fell in 2010 due to poor condition due to disease and storm damage. ### The Anne Frank tree in Neerijnen The cutting in Neerijnen is one of the trees that were grown from the seeds of the original chestnut before it fell. Planting this tree is a way to honor Anne Frank's legacy and message of hope and tolerance. Neerijnen was chosen because of the serene and natural character of the area, which offers a place of reflection. ### Meaning of the tree The tree in Neerijnen, like other Anne Frank trees planted worldwide, symbolizes the fight against injustice, anti-Semitism and discrimination. It is a living monument that reminds visitors to reflect on the past and work towards a peaceful future.

Beautiful piece to include in your walk around the estate.

It is a beautiful, wooded area located along the banks of the Waal. Containing two special buildings, Waardenburg Castle and Huis Neerijnen. Both with a moat and Huis Neerijnen even with a drawbridge and a coach house. And of course with beautiful stories. More information: mijngelderland.nl

Beautiful area with many birds. Currently very wet and parts of the walking path are closed. Strolling along the Maas is fun, but now it is swampy.
