Where is it? Wednesday
I love that my friend Patty T. was on another continent, touring her husband’s “ancestral home,” when she heard that this is the largest building in the world covered in delft tile. She thought of me and this blog, and took this photo for our enjoyment! She’s just SWELL!
So today is an ultra-obscure “Where is it? Wednesday!” Anyone know where this building is located? And perhaps, the name of it?
If YOU have a photo of a BIG attraction – anywhere in the world – that you would like to contribute for “Where is it? Wednesday,” please contact me at Traci [at] GoBIGorGoHomeBlog [dot] com. I ♥ shared photos!
ANSWER: This building is called the Stadshaard. It’s located in Enschede, the Netherlands, and serves as a gateway building for the district of Roombeek. And — get this – it’s a power station! Amazingly attractive for a public utility building. More information and photos — with detailed looks at the tiles — can be found here.
I am completely stumped! I can’t even begin to think what to google, it looks lovely though.
Venturing a guess……I would say Delft, in the Netherlands. Shame on them if they allowed the largest Delft-covered building to be contructed somewhere else.
Right country! We’ve posted an update with an answer!
Thanks for posting! It *is* obscure! LOL
I have an app that let’s me take a pic of this and surf the web by pic… but I won’t cheat.
That’s so cool! That sounds like the Shazaam app which tells you what song is playing. Anyway, we’ve posted an update with an answer!
I’m going with the Netherlands too!
Wow thats a power station? I wish power stations looked like that where i am. Cool building and photo.
love the big paint can!! and really love that your daughter asked about getting out to take a picture (O: too cute… she will have the best pictures and memories of anyone as she grows older!
