Uilentoren, Observation tower in Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Netherlands
The Uilentoren stands as a brick and pebble cement tower with a square base, featuring ornamental owls at its four corners and an accessible platform.
Built in 1904 by architect J. Pothoven Azn for bailiff H.G. van Dam, the tower formed part of the former Lombok estate on purchased heathland.
The structure represents early 20th-century Dutch folly architecture and received protection status as a national monument within the Utrechtse Heuvelrug region.
Located at the end of Lomboklaan in Leersum, the tower remains open throughout the year and includes a staircase leading to an observation platform.
Four cement owl sculptures decorate the tower corners, with one original owl recovered in 2012 now displayed on a pedestal next to the structure.
