Radio Kootwijk

"The Cathedral" or the 'A' Building (1928).

Architect: Julius Maria Luthmann

The housing accommodations of Radio Kootwijk arose as a result of the building of a shortwave radio transmitter with the same name, starting in 1918. The transmitter played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its then colony of Dutch East Indies. (wikipedia)
