Belvédère Nijmegen, 15th-century watch tower in Valkhof, Netherlands
The Belvédère tower stands on elevated ground near the Waal River, featuring octagonal architecture with stone walls and multiple viewing levels.
Built during the 1400s, this defensive structure provided military surveillance and protected Nijmegen from potential invasions through its strategic position.
The tower received its name from the Duke of Parma, reflecting the French term for beautiful view, which characterizes its position above Nijmegen.
Visitors can access the tower banquet hall for private events, with operating hours from noon until 2:30 PM on weekdays and evening hours until 9:30 PM.
The structure maintains its original medieval defensive features while functioning as a modern event venue with capacity for 100 guests.
