Echoput Apeldoorn, Historic water well in Hoog-Soeren, Netherlands

The Echoput water well reaches a depth of 56 meters, featuring a protective building structure called puthuis constructed in 1910 around its opening.

King Lodewijk Napoleon commissioned the construction of this well between 1809 and 1811 to supply drinking water for horses of his military forces.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the deep well became a frequent destination for school excursions due to its natural echo effect properties.

The site opens exclusively during special events such as Open Monument Days, with guided tours provided by experienced local guides.

The well's depth creates a natural acoustic phenomenon where sounds reverberate clearly from the bottom to the surface of the structure.
