Vrijplaats Koppenhinksteeg, Squatter's house and music venue in Leiden, Netherlands

The building complex contains multiple spaces including a concert hall, kitchen, meeting rooms, and a free shop for community exchange.

Originally squatted in 1968, the site operated under the Vrijplaats Koppenhinksteeg Foundation throughout the 1990s until its eviction in 2010.

The venue hosted numerous social initiatives, including support for undocumented migrants, an information center, a library, and sports activities.

The location reopened as Podium & eetcafé Resistor in November 2021, offering concert performances and dining options in an industrial setting.

Volunteers completely renovated the former industrial complex, transforming a boiler house and energy center into a community-driven cultural space.
