De Vasim, Former textile factory in Nijmegen, Netherlands

The large industrial building features distinctive arched halls with scale roofs and two prominent air inlets, reflecting its original purpose as a spinning mill.

The structure, established in 1928 for artificial silk production by NYMA company, received Marshall Aid funding for its 1948 expansion with additional arched halls.

De Vasim houses over fifty creative enterprises, including designers, artists, festival organizers, and filmmakers who collaborate within this industrial heritage building.

The main hall accommodates 1,600 standing visitors or 850 seated guests, while the smaller space holds 450 standing or 250 seated individuals.

The building transformed from a textile mill to a fly ash processing facility before becoming a center for arts, sports, and cultural activities.
