The building, which has had various uses in the past, is often called "The White Villa" or "Stadsvilla Sonsbeek" locally because of the white façade, which also had other colors in the past.

Sonsbeek

Park Sonsbeek in Arnhem is the most famous park in this city. The park is named after Anna van Sonsbeeck, a prominent lady in the Arnhem community in the 17th century. Anna's father, Franciscus van Sonsbeeck, comes from the German town of Sonsbeck or Sonsbeeck. Above the main entrance of the Lutheran church in Sonsbeeck, built in 1655, you can still find the city's coat of arms: a sun with a few wavy lines underneath that represent a stream. The park is 67 hectares in size and borders the Zijpendaal and Gulden Bodem parks in the north. These three parks are closely linked and together cover about 200 hectares. To the east, Sonsbeek borders the Sonsbeekkwartier and St. Marten districts, to the south almost the city centre and to the west to the Burgemeesterswijk. The area is a protected cityscape.
