Frankendael House, the location for the fountain beneath which was the crypt in which Omega's TARDIS was concealed. Filming took place here on 5 May 1982. Scroll down for screenshots.

The 1983 Doctor Who story Arc of Infinity starred Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. Location filming took place in Amsterdam in early May 1982.

"As Amsterdam rapidly grew from the 16th to early 18th century, the real estate in the city became so expensive, that rich people who wanted to enjoy a bigger property had to move further from the capital. The Park Frankendael (7 acres) in East Amsterdam, was originally one of these wealthy estates. The entrance to the park with an old ornamented gate is at the Middenweg, less than one mile (1300m) from the Tropenmuseum, driving out of the city. The beautiful old land house Frankendael (built in 1659) is visible from the street – it is one of the few of these estates remaining in Amsterdam."

"The only place remaining in the Watergraafsmeer was founded in 1660 by Nicolaas van Liebergen. In 1695 the country estate became the property of Izaak Balde, who had a formal garden behind the house. In 1733 he had the house expanded and decorated to the current two-storey building with basement.

"The truncated hip roof has a viewing platform with balustrade. The façade with angular avenues and a pronkrisalite in rich Louis XIV style is flanked by single-storey buildings. After 1799 A. Dull enlarged the country estate by purchasing adjoining homesteads, and in 1835 C. Poot established the country estate as a 'place of refuge for decent residents of the capital'. In 1867 Frankendaal was bought by the Royal Dutch Horticulture Company 'Linnaeus' for the founding of a horticultural school and trade nursery, which was taken over by the municipality of Amsterdam in 1882 and arranged as a municipal nursery. The house was restored in 1951.

"At the front is a fountain with shell-shaped basin and statues of flood gods: Amphitrite and Neptune with Arion on a dolphin in between. This fountain, made in 1714 by Ignatius van Logteren for the country estate Driemond, was transferred in 1770 by order of Jan Gildemeester. In 1783 he had the entrance gate placed in Louis XVI style after a design by Jacob Otten Husly. On an island in the garden is an early-19th-century hermitage, commissioned by A. Dull. From 1960 onwards, public areas have been set up by J. Jongsma on the site."
