“Mom, can we go to the park for a bit?”
It's a beautiful day, around five in the afternoon. “Mom, can we go to the park for a bit?” You say ‘yes’ without any hesitation. You know your kids always have so much fun there. Sometimes you go along and read a book on one of the benches under a tree or chat with your neighbors.
Feel, see, and experience the history in the park
A residential area comes to life when there is a lot of greenery, such as a park. De Horn has the Merovechpark. With wonderfully large trees, benches, and play structures. In this park, the history of the area is made visible and even tangible. Did you know, for example, that excavations have found 13 bead necklaces and a sword bead from the Merovingian period (560-725 AD)? These beads have been enlarged and form a piece of art that stretches like a winding trail through the park. Thus, the archaeological wealth of this area has found a unique place in De Horn.
The golden buckle from Rijnsburg is also a valuable object that has come to light during excavations here. A source of inspiration for the design of the benches in the outer ring of the Merovechpark. Discover how the pattern in the mosaic has the same lines as the buckle and even reappears in the planting. By the way, not everything has been excavated. To protect the remaining archaeological treasures, the ground has been raised. The result is a park with elevation changes, rolling grass fields, and beautiful views towards the neighborhood and water. Surrounded by trees. A tranquil peace that invites meeting and playing.
