Artist Reindert Wepko Van de Wint spent his retirement in The Nollen, a landscape of dunes in Den Helder, North Holland. Throughout his later years, he began work on sculptures for his nature and art project.

In December 2010, The Nollen Foundation received a grant from Wadden Sea Fund to convert R.W. Van de Wint’s work into a public sculpture park. Following the artist’s initiative, the art and nature project constructed an exhibition room to support Van de Wint’s sculpture among the dunes.
