Keermuren Grote Museum, Retaining wall near Kröller-Müller Museum, Netherlands.

The unfinished retaining walls stand as foundations of what was intended to become the Grande Museum, designed by architect Henry Van de Velde in 1921.

Construction stopped in 1922 due to financial difficulties of Anton Kröller, leading to the relocation of the museum project to its current Kröller-Müller location.

The remaining walls serve as a foundation for modern sculptures, including the Three Upright Motives by Henry Moore in the museum's sculpture garden.

The retaining walls are located along Houtkampweg and are designated as national monument number 523549, maintaining their architectural significance.

A narrow-gauge railway called 'Geitenlijntje' was specifically constructed to transport building materials to the site during the initial construction phase.
