Mander Circles, Nature area and land art installation in Manderheide, Netherlands
The Mander Circles comprise two circular fields measuring 378 and 343 meters in diameter, spanning across 33 hectares of Dutch countryside.
Textile manufacturer Gerhard Jannink commissioned these circular fields in the 1930s after observing similar agricultural practices during his travels in North America.
Artist Paul de Kort incorporated prehistoric landscape elements into the design, creating a spiral labyrinth in one circle and a central mound with fifty juniper bushes in another.
A two-kilometer walking path constructed in 2005 guides visitors around and over the circles, allowing full exploration of this natural and artistic site.
The circular formations serve as navigation markers for pilots near the Dutch-German border, leading to their local nickname Beha van Jannink.
