Sugar Factory Zeeland

Sugar Factory Zeeland is a three-story industrial building with construction methods typical of 19th-century factories. The structure now houses shops and leisure facilities while retaining some of its original industrial character.

The factory was established in 1863 and processed sugar beets from regional farms for decades. It closed in 1929 as economic conditions in the sugar industry changed.

The factory shaped how people in the region earned their living and brought activity to Bergen op Zoom's waterfront. Walking through it today, you can sense the importance that sugar processing held for the local community.

The building sits close to Bergen op Zoom's center and is easy to reach on foot. You can view the exterior with its factory features and explore the interior spaces with shops and amenities.

The building shows how a working factory was transformed into a modern shopping and leisure space while keeping much of its original industrial structure. This conversion reveals the contrast between what the building once was and what it has become.
