== History ==
In 1919, an artist named Carl Imanuel Leberecht Garschagen build a villa, one kilometer south-east of Beek, nearby 't Peeske. He liked to paint a lot, especially the overwhelming nature and the cloudy skies. It is believed that the name 'Cloudy Land' was given to the villa because of this.〔Wolkenland.nl ()(the official site of Cloudy Land)〕 After him, lady Brantsen from Rhenen lived there. She is destined to marry the Baron of Heeckeren van Keel, but she didn't want to: '' 'As a friend, yes, but not as a husband!' ''. 〔Wolkenland 1931-2006 (book) by Patrick van den Hanenberg〕 In 1931, the house was bought by 'Het Amsterdams Lyceum', as an outdoor cottage. They did have to sell the twelve acres of land that had come with it. The mayor of the nearby village 's Herenberg opened the house.〔(Mr Alphons JM Nederveen )〕 In 1932, there was a fire that burned the place down. It was rebuilt, but destroyed again on December 26, 1944, in World War II.〔(Wolkenland - Berghapedia )〕 It was bombed by British fighter-bombers of the Royal Air Force.It was not a mistake, even though it looked like that because Cloudy Land is situated nearby Germany, but it was a precision bombing. In 1943, the Germans had made Cloudy Land into an observation post. From the hill of Cloudy Land, there is an excellent view over the valley of the river the IJssel and the Rijn. 〔In the difficult period after the Second World War, the rector of the school managed to get the permission and funds to build the nowadays Cloudy Land. It was officially opened on June 28, 1952.
