Concrete Monolith in the Dutch Desert

Step into a surreal Dutch desert where a giant concrete monolith from the 1920s stands alone—Building A, the Netherlands’ first reinforced concrete structure, built to beam radio signals across 11,000 km to Indonesia. Hidden in the Veluwe’s wild sand dunes, it once housed wartime submarine communications and now thrives as a nature reserve teeming with deer and wild boars. A perfect blend of brutalist architecture and untamed wilderness, it’s also a Hollywood hotspot. Hike the 12.5km red trail, book tickets online, and experience this architectural oddity just an hour from Amsterdam. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
