De Meerpaal

De Meerpaal is a cultural center and municipal monument in Dronten housing multiple spaces for different activities. The building contains a multi-purpose hall, movie theater, performance venues, and teaching areas where visitors can take courses in visual arts, photography, music, and dance.

The building was established in 1967 and designed by architectural firm Atelier PRO as a cultural venue for the community. Major renovations took place in the late 1980s and early 2000s to upgrade its facilities and technical systems.

The venue hosts a range of theatrical productions, musical performances, film screenings, and art exhibitions that shape the local cultural calendar. Visitors experience both emerging and established artists from different backgrounds performing in dedicated performance spaces.

The venue is located on De Rede street in central Dronten and is accessible by foot or car. Check the program in advance since events and courses change regularly throughout the year.

The building functions simultaneously as a protected heritage structure and an active community cultural venue, blending historical preservation with contemporary programming. This dual identity makes it unusual among monuments, as many similar buildings serve only archival purposes.
