Van Tuyll-monument, Bronze statue at Olympisch Stadion, Netherlands.

The Van Tuyll-monument features a 270-centimeter bronze figure performing an Olympic salute, mounted on a brick pedestal near the Marathon Tower.

Created in 1928 by sculptor Gra Rueb and architect Jan Wils, the statue commemorates F.W.C.H. baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken, first president of Nederlands Olympisch Comité.

The monument represents the connection between Dutch sports administration and Olympic history through its placement at the stadium that hosted the 1928 Games.

Located at Olympisch Stadion 1 in Amsterdam, the statue stands inside the stadium building following its relocation from the entrance area in 2022.

The bronze figure bears a foundry signature from Leiden and integrates architectural elements including specially designed flower pots around its base.
