Multiart Thuijs relocates for the 3rd time their Model Town in eu.
1972: the last year s of the lease of the land Cauberg in Valkenburg aan de Geul.
1973: Politics is fantastic! The zoning of the Land Cauberg changed to a park. The new, annual grant of leases of land on the Cauberg was too uncertain for our now rapidly growing miniature company. Partly because now, for every new Miniature Building, a "real planning permission" had to submitted.

The subsequent, laborious, lengthy procedures, and our plan for a major on-site exhibition went through red tape agonizingly slow. All this overshadowed not only creative energy but we also missed earnings, it was a rigorous and speedy decision: it led to a temporary 5 year lease for our family business.

1957-1974: During all the year s, our family business was our employment and income. Despite the investment it ultimately was a liability. But afterwards, our mental price was much higher.
SUMMARY
< > 1969-1973: investment for the reinstatement of our Miniature City on the Cauberg Land. The construction of roads, lawns, the stairs and a stone wall into the garden, was a total loss of some Dutch FL 250.000,00.
< > Our historical miniature project was accessible from the Plenkertstraat in Valkenburg, Holland. Alongside two fountains, built by us in 1971 and 1972.

< > Nowadays this garden is called: Plein 15 Februari.
