The Heilig-Landstichting was founded in 1911 to give an overview of the time of the Bible and Palestina. In 1913, construction started, and since 2007 it is called Museumpark Orientalis.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/heiliglandstichting |title=Heilig Landstichting - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}} It used to be a little agricultural hamlet called De Ploeg. A village developed around the museum in along the roads. A convent was constructed in 1915. A basilicum was originally planned, but cancelled.{{cite web|url=https://www.huisvandenijmeegsegeschiedenis.nl/info/Heilig_Land_Stichting |title=Heilig Land Stichting |website=Huis van de Nijmeegse geschiedenis |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}} After World War II, the village developed a more dense core.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/heilig-landstichting |title=Heilig-Landstichting |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}}
