Rietveld Schröder House, Utrecht, Netherlands (UNESCO)


A unique building in Utrecht, Netherlands. The Rietveld Schröder House was designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Riedveld for Mrs. Truus Schröder-Schräder and her 3 children in the De Stijl style. Mrs. Schröder lived in this house until her death in 1985. It was turned into a museum and is open for visits.
In 2000 it was inscribed into the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as "an icon of the Modern Movement in architecture and an outstanding expression of human creative genius in its purity of ideas and concepts as developed by the De Stijl movement."
Thank you Miek for sending this wonderful card for the Postcrossing Favourites Tag and adding a new site to my UNESCO collection.
