Bliksemschicht, Observation tower and art installation at Princeville interchange, Netherlands
The Bliksemschicht tower rises 22 meters above ground with an additional 6-meter elevation from its hilltop position near major highways in Breda.
Constructed in 2009, the Bliksemschicht tower represents a modern addition to Breda's architectural landscape, positioned at the convergence of A16 and A58 motorways.
The Z-shaped steel structure combines functional observation purposes with artistic expression, featuring metal grid panels that create visual patterns throughout its surfaces.
Visitors can climb 80 steps to reach the observation platform, offering extensive views of the Princeville interchange and the high-speed railway line below.
The tower weighs 32 tons and serves dual purposes as both a viewing platform and an artistic landmark, designed by architect Martien Kuipers.
