The Tower of Eben-Ezer is a tower on a ridge near the Jeker near the Belgian town of Eben-Emael, in the municipality of Bassenge, a few kilometers south of Maastricht.
The tower is square and the four sides of 12 meters are oriented towards the four directions: north, east, west and south. The four corners are formed by round corner towers that function as columns. On the roof of the tower there is a concrete cast sculpture on the battlements of each of the four corner towers. Each statue represents one of the winged cherubs who announce the apocalypse: the Bull on the northwest side, the Man (in a sphinx form) on the southwest side, the Lion on the southeast side and the Eagle on the northeast side.
A cherub, cherubim, cherub or kerub is a mythical creature composed of a combination of various other life forms, often a winged lion, eagle or bull with a human face
