Tower of Eben-Ezer

The Tower of Eben-Ezer is a 33-meter-high flint structure in Bassenge with four stone sculptures at its corners representing biblical figures: a bull, a human form, a lion, and an eagle. Inside, seven floors hold exhibitions of artwork, sculptures, and geological finds.

Robert Garcet built this structure between 1948 and 1963, using dimensions derived from biblical references. It emerged as a symbol of peace following World War II.

The name references a biblical stone monument, and the place displays artwork and geological collections that reflect Garcet's passion for ancient civilizations. Visitors encounter exhibitions that reveal multiple interests shaped this creation.

Entry requires planning since the interior only accepts contactless payments. Information materials are available mainly in French and Dutch.

Beneath the structure lies a tunnel network where the builder reported discovering fossilized creatures and remnants of an ancient settlement. These underground finds added greatly to the place's intrigue.
