Poortgebouw, Gate building and Rijksmonument in Feijenoord, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Poortgebouw stands as a four-story brick structure with two wings connected by floors that span across the road beneath it at Stieltjesstraat 38.
Built in 1879 beside the River Maas, this building was designated as the administrative headquarters for Rotterdamsche Handelsvereniging until its owner fled to America.
The structure transformed into a housing cooperative in 1982 following negotiations between squatters and city officials, establishing a new model of community living.
Regular community events take place within the building, offering spaces for meetings, performances, and social gatherings throughout the year.
The building remains one of the few examples where former squatters successfully established a legal housing association and maintained their residence through multiple ownership changes.
