Rijksbergplaats voor Kunstschatten, Art storage facility in Basse, Netherlands.

The circular structure features 4.5-meter thick concrete walls covered with sintered street clinkers and includes a conical roof reaching nine meters at its peak.

Built in 1942 under architect G.C. Bremer's direction, this warehouse protected approximately 3000 Dutch artworks during World War II after their relocation from coastal bunkers.

The building's exterior displays a majolica tableau featuring a coat of arms with two heraldic lions and contains a Latin inscription added during construction.

Located at Paasloregel 77 in Basse, the facility maintains security through a double set of steel vault doors and includes adjustable steel racks for painting storage.

The construction required 7000 cubic meters of concrete and 750,000 kilograms of reinforcement steel to create a bomb-proof structure for art preservation.

Location: Steenwijkerland

Address: Paasloregel 77 8342SJ
