De Drie Hoefijzers, Industrial brewery complex in Breda, Netherlands.
Description
De Drie Hoefijzers is an industrial brewery in Breda with seven floors containing brewing halls, malt processing areas, and storage sections connected by reinforced concrete structures. The facility was designed to use gravity for moving malt between levels, and an original elevator system remains visible in the building.
History
Planning for the facility began in December 1925, with the foundation stone laid in June 1926 and operations starting on December 17, 1927. This timeline reflects the rapid construction of a modern industrial plant during the prosperous 1920s.
Culture
The interior features Art Deco design with stained glass windows made by the Bogtman company from Haarlem and decorative tiled patterns on the walls. These details show how breweries of that era chose to decorate their working spaces.
Practical
The building is open for visitors and it helps to take time to explore the different floors and see how the spaces were organized. Comfortable shoes are worth wearing since exploring the stairs and rooms involves quite a bit of walking.
Did you know?
The building preserves underground vaults where beer sales profits were stored, along with marble mantlepieces and early communication systems using visual signals. These features reveal how wealth and daily operations were made visible in this brewing facility.
