Volkel is known for Volkel Air Base of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) as well as the amusement park .
Volkel used to be a little village. In 1455, a chapel was built, but the village did not get a church until 1855.[3] In 1940, a military airport was built near Volkel by the Germans. During Operation Market Garden, the airport was bombed many times. The damage was repaired afterwards, and it first served as an Allied airport and later it became Volkel Air Base.[4]
