The Towers of Eben-Ezer is a museum tower in Eben-Emael, built by Robert Garcet. It is a place of memories, emotions, questions, excitation and hope.
The towers have an unusual and unexpected look and feel, and they embody a well-considered symbolism, whereby not one single aspect of the building has been left to chance! The Towers of Eben-Ezer were built at the end of World War II as a protest against war and all forms of violence. That is why every year during the spring solstice they fly a pennant, on which it is written: " … et l'on apprendra plus la guerre… " (… and we shall learn war no more…).
During your visit you might like to discover the hall of cherubs inspired by the texts from the Apocalypse, as well as the Geospadium that is dedicated to discovering the Cretaceous period and temporary exhibitions.
