About

A gorgeous monument in the middle of the gorgeous woods of Lage Vuursche, this tower was built in 1938 by famed architect Jan Rebel as a getaway for D.P.R.A. Bouvy, president and curator of the Archbishop's Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Very few people actually know of the existence of this place.
