Wolfsdreuvik, Municipal monument in Smithuyserbos, Hilversum, Netherlands.

The Wolfsdreuvik building consists of a main structure with a kitchen and roof terrace, accompanied by a narrow tower in medieval brick style.

Architect Jan Rebel constructed this forest retreat in 1938 for D.P.R.A. Bouvy, who later became the director of the Archiepiscopal Museum in Utrecht.

The structure features stained glass windows by artist Ben Hofstee, depicting Saint Hubertus, Saint Barbara, and the Bouvy family coat of arms.

Visitors can only reach the monument by walking or cycling through the forest paths, as vehicle access is not permitted to the location.

The building, positioned on a small hill next to a forest pond, originally relied on candles and gas lamps for illumination due to lack of electricity.
