AVRO Studios, Broadcasting complex in Hilversum, Netherlands
The AVRO Studios consists of two main buildings interconnected by an underground tunnel, with Studio 2 positioned above Studio 1 on Melkpad street.
Constructed between 1934 and 1940, architects Benjamin Merkelbach and Charles Karsten designed the studios following the principles of Neue Sachlichkeit architectural style.
Studio 2, known for its large hall, served as the venue for the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in 1958, marking a milestone in Dutch broadcasting.
The studios currently house television production facilities managed by Blue Circle, a subsidiary of FremantleMedia, with guided tours available during specific periods.
The original AVRO Concert Organ, played by Pierre Palla from 1937 to 1967, remained one of the largest theater organs in the Netherlands.
