John Frost Bridge is the road bridge over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem, in the Netherlands. The bridge was inaugurated after the end of World War II, and is named after Major-General John Dutton Frost (1912–1993), who commanded the British forces that reached and temporarily defended the pre-existing Rijnbrug at the same location during the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. This was the bridge referenced in the 1977 Anglo-American film A Bridge Too Far, although the IJssel bridge in Deventer was used for the actual shooting of the film.

The Presickhaeffs Huys is a medieval house in the center of Arnhem on the Kerkstraat, which according to research was built in the year 1354. In 1555 a T-shaped extension took place at the rear with a beautiful courtyard; from 1606 the Nassauch Widows' Home moved into the building. Then in 1795 it was a tea house and from 1915-1944 a café with meeting rooms. Partly due to the many destructions that were caused in the center of Arnhem during the Battle of Arnhem in the Second World War, this is one of the few medieval houses that Arnhem still possesses. The house, near St. Eusebius' Church, had its own courtyard. Previously, the house extended to the Koningstraat behind it. The building is a national monument.

In this house, which became increasingly dilapidated, Lutheran religious meetings had been held since 1657. In the period 1735 - 1737, the hall church was built in classicist architectural style according to the presumably design of the Arnhem architect Leendert Viervant the Elder. The façade is set up according to the Ionic architectural style with a large pediment at the top. It features decorations in the Louis XIV style. The capital rests on columns that have been imitated around the building. Above the entrance is an image of a swan as a sign of the Lutheran faith.
