In 1899 a Post office was built for eternity and they made a kind of cathedral of it. The neo-gothic style with various bricks makes it a beautiful building. Nobody could have imagined that a post office would not be necessary any more in the 20th century. In 1992 the interieur was changed in a shopping mall called "Magna Plaza". Here you can have a look at the inside as it was still a post office.
Hier in Rotterdam is ook zo'n mooi gebouw. Is dacht ik ook geen postkantoor meer. Jammer hoor.

That is the most beautiful post office I think I have ever seen! Hard to believe it is now a shopping mall.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love the architecture of this Eternity Post Office ... You're right ... It's amazing to think we live in an age when slow mail has almost become out-dated.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow that is a post office for an eternity. Great post.

Love this photo. I love all the architecture in Amsterdam, it is still the most intesting city I ever got to visit.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGosh that is a marvelous building for a post office, i know what you mean though, our beautiful big old post office is now a shopping area also. Things were so much grander in those days.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenyes, i like this building so much!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenalso the huge postoffice in utrecht, but i think they are closing that one too (perhaps its already closed..?). but i dont like the shops in here, they are boring and it seems usually not very crowded!
