Pyramid of Gulpen, Glass pyramid in Gulpen, Netherlands
The Pyramid of Gulpen consists of three glass facades and stands near the N278 road, next to the Mosaqua swimming pool and Sophianum school.
Constructed between 1991 and 1992 with a budget of 9.5 million guilders, the pyramid was funded by eight local municipalities and the Limburg province.
The structure was initially designed as a Limburg museum and art exhibition space under the name Roccoco, reflecting regional artistic aspirations.
The glass pyramid stands at Lansraderweg 7 in Gulpen, allowing visitors to view its exterior architecture throughout the day without entrance fees.
Following low visitor numbers, with only 15,000 in six months instead of the projected 150,000 annually, the pyramid was sold at auction for 260,000 guilders.
