Graansilo Korthals Altes

The main building extends over six floors with an attic under a slate roof, accompanied by two twelve-bay storage wings.

The silo was constructed between 1896 and 1898 by architects Jacob Frederik Klinkhamer and A.L. van Gendt for J.Ph. Korthals Altes.

The structure represents an early example of a silo built entirely of brick with an octagonal elevator tower topped with battlements.

The building contains 92 residential units and 4,500 square meters of commercial space distributed across multiple levels.

The initial capacity of the silo allowed storage of 17 million kilograms of grain distributed through 60 chutes of 15 square meters each.
