Nooitgedagt, Industrial heritage site in IJlst, Netherlands

The Nooitgedagt factory complex stands as a testament to Dutch manufacturing, featuring concrete structures that housed skate and tool production facilities.

Founded in 1865 by Jan Jarigs Nooitgedagt, the company evolved from a small attic workshop into a major industrial complex producing skates and woodworking tools.

The factory played a central role in IJlst's identity as Wood City, contributing to the region's reputation for craftmanship through its tools and skates production.

The former industrial complex now contains the Museum Houtstad IJlst, which displays collections of Nooitgedagt tools, skates, and toys from different periods.

In 1961, the company received royal recognition, becoming Koninklijke Fabrieken J. Nooitgedagt & Zonen N.V., marking its significance in Dutch manufacturing history.
