Dubbelde Palmboom

The Dubbelde Palmboom is a museum housed in two connected warehouses featuring a distinctive double clock gable on their facade. The building displays exhibitions that document the maritime trade and commercial activities that defined Rotterdam's past.

The building was constructed in 1825 as a grain warehouse called Denemarken. It became a distillery in 1860 and received its current distinctive name.

The museum shows how Delfshaven once served as a vital port where merchants and traders conducted their business with ships from around the world. The exhibits reveal how maritime commerce shaped the neighborhood's identity and daily life for generations.

The museum is accessible by tram line 4 or metro line A, both stopping at Delfshaven station nearby. The walk from the station to the building at Voorhaven takes just a few minutes.

A flood marker etched into the lower facade records the dates when high water levels inundated the quay during major storms. This simple marking reveals how frequently Rotterdam faced threats from rising water throughout its history.
