Architecture - Holland.com

The Netherlands is the most densely populated country in Europe, which means the Dutch have to be creative with space for homes, jobs and infrastructure. You can find modern architectonic creations next to historical buildings in any city. However, the two most important architectonic highlights are the city of Rotterdam, also known as ‘Manhattan on the Meuse’, and the UNESCO monument the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht.
