Result
Opened end of november 2020
Our approach
The result
In the new inspiration point you will be taken into the story of the Battle of Grolle. A major battle in the 80-year war, the memories of which are still visible in Groenlo. Projections, photos and stories provide you with concrete tips for going out and seeing these memories for yourself. Through VR glasses you can be present yourself at the biennial Battle of Grolle event, in which some 1,500 re-enactors reenact this historic battle.
Via audio clips you can experience “the battle” from different perspectives: Prince Frederik Hendrik, a Spanish soldier, a resident and the children Harmen and Bregje. At a large round table over the fortified city you can operate levers that give you more information about experiences in the city.
But other themes are also discussed. This way you can learn more about the beer history of Groenlo; the cradle of the Grolsch beer brand. In beer barrels you will find information about this beer history and where you can visit local brewers. There is also attention for the “Grolse Want”. Knitting these mittens dates back to the 17th century and is even national intangible heritage.
You can get information about experience tips in the area in an interactive way via a touch table. The inspiration point also contains information about the immediate area and the Achterhoek region.
