Ecokathedraal, Land art project in Mildam, Netherlands

The Ecokathedraal spans two hectares of land where stacked stones and construction materials form elevated structures that interweave with vegetation and wildlife.

Louis le Roy initiated this environmental project in 1965, using surplus construction materials from local municipalities to create structures without machinery or cement.

The site operates as an experimental ground where the interaction between human construction and natural growth processes continues through dedicated volunteer work.

The location opens daily with free access, and visitors can park their vehicles 500 meters away at the Hof van Schoterland restaurant.

The structures contain intentional gaps and spaces that serve as natural habitats, while the project extends until the year 3000 to study environmental evolution.
