Gerbrandy Tower, Broadcasting tower in IJsselstein, Netherlands.
The tower combines a 100-meter concrete base section with a steel upper structure supported by guy wires, reaching a total height of 372 meters.
When completed in 1961, the Gerbrandy Tower stood at 382.5 meters, making it the tallest constructed structure in Europe at that time.
The tower bears the name of Peter Gerbrandy, who led the Netherlands government during World War II, and received national monument status in 2017.
The structure serves as a central hub for directional radio services, FM broadcasting, and television transmission throughout the Netherlands region.
During winter months, strings of white lights transform the tower into an illuminated Christmas tree visible from 50 kilometers away.
