History double image right Efteling caroussel.jpg 200 Carousstoom2.JPG 200 The Steam Carousel Palace K nig engine The carousel, dating from 1895, was bought by Efteling from Hendrik Janvier, who had toured with it to local funfair s, and has been operating in the park since 11 May 1956. Hendrik Janvier 1868 1932 , considered to be the founding father of the salon carousel, sold the Carousel because of the high costs and declining income. Building the ride up took 4 days and it had to be transported with 25 train carriages and trucks. Rumour has it that Anton Pieck , the most important creative designer of Efteling, pushed for the purchase, because he rode the carousel as a child in Haarlem . There also is a bar area within the salon carousel. The area surrounding these carousels was normally used for entertainment, eating and dancing in past times. In 1956 the carousel was the only attraction in the building, but in 1966 the Water organ Water Organ , in 1971 the Diorama Efteling Diorama and in 1972 the Victorian Theater were also set up in the Carousel Palace.
