An air watch tower was a lookout in the 1950s and 60s that was used in the Netherlands by the Air Force Corps (KLD) to search the airspace of the Netherlands for Russian aircraft in the context of the Cold War. The air watch towers were part of a network of 276 lookouts spread across the Netherlands. There were 138 posts on existing buildings, such as mills and factories, and 138 freestanding towers built specifically for this purpose in the 1950s. Seventeen such towers still exist.

As I drove past, the tower caught my eye. Impressive. I just did not see whether it can or may be climbed.

Special building, you can't go in it by the way.
