Greenhouses to visit in the Netherlands

The Verrière atlas lists 3 greenhouses in the Netherlands, built between 1870 and 1988.

Three faces of the Dutch greenhouse: Leiden's Victoriakas, in one of the world's oldest botanical gardens; Amsterdam's Palmenkas, a rare Amsterdam School glasshouse; and Arnhem's Burgers' Bush, a pioneer of fully enclosed rainforests.
