Rotterdam is well known as the high-rise city of the
Netherlands

Manhattan

Meuse
",
[5]
because of the large number of skyscrapers standing close to the river
Meuse
, especially at

. Rotterdam has a rich history in high-rises, dating back to 1897 with the completion of "Het
Witte Huis
". This office building was at that time the tallest skyscraper in Europe with a height of 43 metres (141 ft).
[6]
