Story · Belgenmonument

You're standing at the Belgian Monument on the Amersfoortse Berg, one of the highest hills of the Utrecht Ridge. It's the largest monument in the Netherlands. Look at the main building with its three brick pillars, twelve and fourteen metres tall. Those chunky shapes and deep-set joints are in the spirit of the Amsterdam School style.
