Westergasfabriek

The Westergasfabriek spans multiple industrial buildings with red brick facades and iron details, connected by paved walkways and green spaces along the Haarlemmervaart canal.

Built in 1883 as a coal gas production facility by architect Isaac Gosschalk, the Westergasfabriek supplied Amsterdam with gas for street lighting until its closure in 1967.

The former gas factory buildings now accommodate art galleries, theaters, cinemas, exhibition spaces, creative offices, and host numerous festivals throughout the year.

The complex features multiple restaurants, cafes, event spaces available for rent, and maintains regular opening hours from early morning until late evening.

The site underwent substantial soil decontamination processes before its transformation into a cultural center, incorporating water features that naturally filter through aquatic plants.
