In the 19th century, the park was used by the Kings Governor
as an apple orchard and vegetable garden. The grain cellar,
where the winter fruits and vegetables were stored so as not
to freeze, also dates from this period. You can find the grain
cellar tucked away under the trees to the right of the entrance
on Drostenlaantje.
