Description
Behind the Van Loon Museum is a beautiful garden. In 1973, it was recreated based on a 1679 drawing by Jacob Bosch, a city surveyor for Amsterdam. The garden is completely enclosed, with walls on either side, and has carefully tended hedges, arranged in a circular pattern, divided into six pie-shaped slices and planted with roses and bulbs. An armillary sphere sundial, popular in the 17th century, is the focal point. Along the walls are naturalist plantings, including a large copper beech tree reportedly planted by the Van Loon family in 1884.
