Story · Gedenknaald Koning Willem II
You're standing at the memorial needle for King Willem II, next to the Heikese church in Tilburg. Start by looking up along the slender column. It's made of aluminium, about eight metres tall, on a granite base of two metres. Set into it is a marble medallion showing the king's head in profile.
