Huizen transmitter was one of the first broadcasting stations in the Netherlands. It was built in 1923 as 500 watt experimental transmitter whose power was increased in 1926 to 5000 watt. At Huizen transmitter in 1926 possibly the first rotating shortwave transmission antenna consisting of 2 60 metres tall towers were built.

The towers of Huizen transmitter were well-known landmarks and often shown on postcards. In 1935 they were demolished after the erection of a mast radiator near Hilversum in 1931.

A replica of the shortwave antennas can be found on a roundabout in Huizen.
