Something you won't see if you are a tourist in The Netherlands. This is Building A of radio Kootwijk. Radio Kootwijk was our 'internet' of the last century. It was a radio station that could reach the Dutch East Indies in order to communicate with that remote part of our kingdom before there were any satellites to help us. Dutch ships and KLM aircraft all around the globe could communicate through this station with the motherland. On the plain around this building, there were many antennae, some even using the enormous wavelength of 17.85 km (about 10 miles). Building A, nicknamed the Cathedral was the center of these station. It was build in Art Deco style in 1918 and still exists today, although the radio station is long gone. I love this building, in the middle of nowhere.The nearest city is Apeldoorn, still 20 km away I believe.

That is really cool, Marcel!

I bet the interior would be fantastic to see, too.

A movie called Mindhunter (with Val Kilmer) was made in this building. Don't know the movie, maybe you saw it?

I just looked it up: Mindhunters (2004) - IMDb

And sad to say, I haven't seen it.

I wish we had a place like this nearby, as I am looking for a suitable location to photograph a Star Wars TIE pilot.

You are always welcome here Dave

Thanks Marcel, I'll keep that in mind if I can't find a good place for the photo shoot around here!

And now that I think about it, that would make for a fun adventure: the touring TIE Pilot photo project

Interesting building Marcel. What, if anything, is it used for today ?

I think you can rent the space for a party and the like. I know they regularly have concerts (classical ones, that is) inside the building.

Is that a reflecting pool out front? Love this building!

What a nifty looking building. I see it as the bad guys headquarters in any post-apocalyptic movie

Yup, that's what it is. This was a time when a building could be both functional and pretty as this building shows. I am told that from above it resembles the egyptian sphinx.

Two pictures from the Dolfinarium Hardewijk:

I liked the way the sky reflects in the dolphine's skin.

They had a show with stuntmen jumping from heights.
