Westelijk Handelsterrein, Protected architectural complex in Scheepvaartkwartier, Netherlands

The Westelijk Handelsterrein spans 7000 square meters across two levels, featuring a glass roof and red brick facades in neo-renaissance architectural style.

Built in 1894 by architect Theo Kanters, this warehouse complex stored goods from Veerhaven harbor, with horse stables on the ground level.

The complex houses contemporary art galleries, international restaurants, and office spaces, representing the transformation of Rotterdam's maritime heritage.

Located at Van Vollenhovenstraat 15, the complex maintains varied opening hours for its galleries, restaurants, and commercial establishments.

During World War II, the complex functioned as a German forces distribution center, which prevented its destruction during the Rotterdam bombing.
