De Inktpot
📍 From City Center, Netherlands
De Inktpot, located in Utrecht, Netherlands, is the largest brick building in the country, notable for its striking architecture and rich railway history. Built between 1918 and 1921, it served as the headquarters for the Dutch Railways. Its design by George van Heukelom features over 22 million red bricks and incorporates elements of the Amsterdam School architectural style, characterized by its expressive forms and craftsmanship. A distinctive sculpture, the UFO-shaped "UFO on the Inktpot," sits atop the building, originally part of a promotional campaign by the railways and now a modern icon. Photo-travelers will appreciate the interplay of historical and contemporary elements. The surrounding area offers diverse urban photography opportunities with nearby parks and canals.
