Part of our wargames as diorama's in Kasteeltuinen Arcen

On the site of the castle of Arcen (South-East Netherlands near Venlo) years ago there were planted gardens as a tourist attraction which attract thousands of tourists from the Netherlands and abroad. It is called the Kasteeltuinen (Castle Gardens).

Peter was asked to put on some displays at the castle of our wargames terrain and figures with connection to the region in which the castle is situated. As this was done already in 2018 he of course was delighted to do this.

Some impressions of the gardens underneath followed by the two displays:

Firstly our wargames table about the battle at Arcen itself in 1511 between the Habsburg army and the army of the Duc of Gueldress
            

Secondly the Siege of Venlo in 1373 (1st Gueldress Succession War):

A pleasure to look at these and maybe one day to see them 'in the flesh' so to speak:).

Jan and Peter,
today I visited Arcen. At that moment I didn't know about your display and whilst I wasoutside minding the dog, my wife excitedly told me to go upstairs inside the castle because there were a lot of wargame soldiers on show.
When I entered the room I immediately thought of you guys, I even looked for the signature Milka cow.
I was about to mail you and ask if those were indeed your miniatures and terrain when I stumbled upon this post.
Nice job, wonderfull display.

Hoping to meet again ...sometime

Petetr
