Welcome to Liberty Park

Freedom cannot be taken for granted. That is the message of Liberty Park in Overloon. In the museum, situated in this beautiful and wooded park, you will experience the occupation and the persecution, but also the resistance and D-Day. And, of course, the Battle at Overloon during the liberation of the southern Netherlands. As a visitor, you are invited to think about war and oppression. How far are you allowed to go when the issue concerns keeping and, if need be, winning back freedom?

The park occupies more than 14 hectares and is open to the general public during daytime hours. It offers peace and space, and the freedom to think about the efforts that had to be made for liberty.

In 1944, the biggest tank battle in Dutch history took place here at Overloon, which is why a museum was established on this battlefield after the war. The tanks, guns and other vehicles that had been left behind were then brought together in this park. On the same soil where the infantry fought - man to man…

The collection had been kept outdoors for many years when the decision was made to relocate it indoors. In so doing, the artefacts will be better preserved. Thus, future generations will also be able to see with their own eyes how the Battle for Overloon was fought.
