Kareol

Kareol was a huge Art Deco/Sezession style building on the Van Lennepweg in Aerdenhout, Netherlands. It was the largest house being built for a private owner in the Netherlands in the 20th century. It was demolished in 1979.

Kareol had a high water tower that could be seen from the train and was built in 1908 by a German-born Amsterdammer, the banker and chairman of the Wagnervereniging, Julius Carl Bunge. It was situated in a park with a small forest. Kareol was built from 1907 until 1911. The architects S. Silow and A. Lundberg made the first sketches. Already in 1907 the German artist, designer and architect Max Laeuger took over the building site when the foundation walls were built. He also designed the large garden. The whole building was constructed of reinforced concrete. The height of the water tower was 32 meters.
