Zendmast bij het Paardenveld, Transmitter mast in IJsselstein, Netherlands
The transmitter mast at Paardenveld is a steel lattice structure rising approximately 220 meters high, equipped with a two-person elevator and an observation cabin positioned at 150 meters. Three support cables anchored to reinforced concrete blocks stabilize the structure across a span of about 140 meters.
The mast was built in the 1950s as an experimental television broadcast station and operated until 1962, when it was replaced by the taller Gerbrandytoren tower. It represents an important period in the early development of Dutch television broadcasting.
The preserved concrete anchor block from the original structure has been transformed into an art installation, now recognized as a municipal monument.
The site sits outside IJsselstein's city center and is easily accessible via local roads. The surrounding area provides ample space to view the entire structure, though the landscape around it remains largely rural.
The original concrete anchor block has been transformed into an art installation and is now protected as a municipal monument. This repurposing preserves an important part of the site's technical history in an unexpected way.
