the mythical and obscure Eben-Ezer tower

The utterly strange Eben-Ezer tower is the project of artist, architect, writer, esothericus and philosopher Robert Garcet (1912-2001). He built this all by himself (and some friends) with flint stone. Dimensions and symbols are taken from the bible and ancient civilisations.

 

The tower is guarded by large stone sculptures of the four cherubim of the Apocalypse: a bull, a sphinx, a lion and an eagle.

 

There is a Musée du Silex (flint) on the first levels.

 

Location : Eben-Emael, Belgium
