Hoge Veluwe - St Hubertus Hunting Lodge

The distinguished architect H. P. Berlage worked for the Kröller-Müllers for many years. Among other things he designed a museum (never built) and the St Hubertus hunting lodge which was built between 1914 and 1920 on the northern border of the old hunting preserve. Named after the patron saint of hunting, St Hubert, it symbolizes the saint's legend: it is laid out in the form of a deer's antlers and the outlook tower is in the shape of a cross. The sequence of rooms, from the dark vestibule through a series of increasingly lighter rooms to the sunny living room, symbolizes St Hubert's progress towards faith.
