Radio Kootwijk, Art deco architectural complex in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.
The transmitter station showcases Egyptian-influenced design elements with a concrete central building and six surrounding antenna masts reaching 212 meters high.
In 1923, the facility initiated transoceanic telegraph operations, establishing vital communication links between the Netherlands and its colonies in the Dutch East Indies.
The main building, designed by Julius Luthmann, reflects the architectural ambitions of the 1920s through its monumental concrete structure and geometric patterns.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours, which include detailed explanations of the building's technical history and architectural features.
The central building's silhouette against the Veluwe landscape resembles an Egyptian sphinx, incorporating symmetrical design elements with industrial functionality.
