Cokesfabriek, Industrial heritage site in Frontenkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands

The Cokesfabriek features a concrete skeletal structure with large windows, representing early modernist industrial architecture in the Netherlands.

Built in 1912 as a municipal gas factory, the facility produced coke through dry distillation of coal at temperatures reaching 1000 degrees Celsius.

The building received Rijksmonument status in 2005, recognizing its national importance as one of the first concrete structures in Maastricht.

Since 2019, the former industrial complex has transformed into creative spaces, offering work areas for artists and cultural professionals.

Designer Valentin Loellmann established a natural garden with native plants and a botanical greenhouse within the industrial surroundings.
