It's the biggest brick building in the Netherlands (22 million bricks), built between 1918 and 1922 by Dutch Railways. During World War 2 it was used by the SS as their headquarters in NL. The nickname of the building is 'the ink pot' because of its shape. @Patrick: it’s a piece of art, a ‘leftover’ of Panorama 2000, an Utrecht art manifestation.
