A New York style building
No, this is not the Empire State Building - but it is a skyscraper reminiscent of those in New York. In fact it was built and financed by a farmers' union, eager to demonstrate their strength and power. Locals say it was the first European skyscraper, and the name Boerontoren means farmers' tower. Sadly, it now houses a shopping centre, and you can't climb to the top to admire the view.
