The Belvedere tower is a striking watchtower located in Lochem. The tower is located on the Lochemse Berg, a hilly area that is part of the Northeast Twente National Landscape Park. The Belvedere tower offers a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

The Belvedere Tower was designed by the well-known Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers and was built in 1893. Cuypers is also responsible for the design of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Amsterdam Central Station, making the tower an architecturally important heritage site.

The tower has a height of approximately 30 meters and is strategically located on the Lochemse Berg. From the top of the tower you have a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, including the vast forests, rolling hills and farmlands of the Achterhoek.

Besides offering a panoramic view, the Belvedere tower also has historical significance. The tower was built as a monument in honor of Queen Emma of the Netherlands, and her initials "E.R." are found in the masonry of the tower.

A beautiful place, but unfortunately the Belvedere has been closed for decades, partly because the surrounding trees block the view.
