Entry Description

The Hoge Veluwe National Park is not only a 5,400-hectare nature reserve, but also the home of Berlage’s famous hunting lodge and the Kröller-Müller Museum. Visitors can enjoy nature, art and architecture. The Park Pavilion now adds a restaurant, a gift shop and education and reception areas.

Like the building itself, the interior forms an alliance with the surrounding landscape. The central space extends along the glass wall, a large ‘lounge’ with a stylish, central staircase and, at the end, a large fireplace. Nine chandeliers project a magical pattern on the vaulted ceiling.
