Building A, Art Deco radio station in Apeldoorn, Netherlands
Building A is an Art Deco structure in Apeldoorn with an angular facade and central tower rising from the heathland. The construction displays expressionist elements and currently functions as an event venue.
The Dutch government built this transmission station in 1923 to enable direct wireless communication with colonies in the Dutch East Indies. A major telephone connection was established from the site in 1929.
The entrance displays stone reliefs showing radio symbols and human figures that represent exchange between East and West. These artistic details shape how visitors experience the building today.
The building operates as an event venue and offers guided tours explaining its transformation over time. Visitors can explore the interior and see the architectural details in person.
The interior preserves many original installations from its radio communication era. These technical remnants reveal the complexity of early wireless technology.
