Nooitgedagt, Industrial heritage site in IJlst, Netherlands
Nooitgedagt is a former factory complex in IJlst featuring concrete structures that once housed skate and tool manufacturing facilities. The site now contains the Museum Houtstad IJlst with collections of tools, skates, and toys from different periods.
The factory began in 1865 as a small workshop and grew into a major industrial complex. Royal recognition in 1961 marked its importance in Dutch manufacturing.
The factory was deeply connected to IJlst's identity as Wood City and shaped the region's craft tradition through tool and skate manufacturing.
The site is now open to the public and houses a museum that guides visitors through the production history. The exhibition displays various products and developments spanning multiple generations.
The factory gained recognition not only for tools but also for high-quality skates that were exported far beyond the Netherlands. These specialized products made the region a center for winter sports equipment.
