Anna's Hoeve (Dutch for Anna's Barn) was an amusement park in the Netherlands.
History
The name "Anna's Hoeve" was given to a house whose construction started in 1844. The owner of the land, Gerardus Vrolik, named it after his second wife Anna van Swinden. This was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in the late 19th century.[1]
In 1950, the site was acquired by E. Kreekel.[2] who also owned Julianatoren and Amusementspark Tivoli. The amusement park was opened in the early 1950s.
The "Anna's Hoeve" restaurant was destroyed by fire on 1 March 1972 but subsequently rebuilt. It again burnt down on 15 August 2005.[3] The site still exists as a nature reserve, and a Scout Hut was built where the restaurant once stood.
