Description

The Posbank is a monumental bank and an adjacent tea house on the southern Veluwe near Rheden. The Posbank is also popularly the name for the hilly heathland in which it is located, but this area is actually called the Herikhuizerveld.
The bank stands at a height of 90 meters above sea level in the Veluwezoom National Park with a view over the Herikhuizerveld, the IJsseldal, Arnhem, the Achterhoek and the Liemers as far as Germany. The extension that used to be at the Posbank was destroyed in a fire in 1996. In 2002 Natuurmonumenten had a new tea house (Paviljoen de Posbank) built according to a sustainable design.

The Posbank is a semicircular stone bench on a striking viewpoint. The bank was built in honor of the 25th anniversary of Mr. G.A. Pos on May 7, 1918. Pos was second president of the ANWB and one of the pioneers of the association. The Posbank was designed by architect Willem Leliman and built by contractor Gerrit Bennink (1869–1936) from Rheden. It was unveiled on May 24, 1921.
