Nieuw Werklust, Former tile factory complex in Hazerswoude-Rijndijk, Netherlands.
The Nieuw Werklust complex consists of multiple buildings including a director's residence, office spaces, furnace building, and storage facilities along the Rijndijk.
Established around 1675, the factory processed clay into roof tiles and chimney pots, with materials transported by boats across the Old Rhine river.
The industrial complex received Rijksmonument status in 2002, marking its importance in Dutch manufacturing heritage as one of the last operational tile factories.
The buildings remain inaccessible to visitors due to structural deterioration, with restoration costs estimated to reach several million euros.
A steam engine installation in 1891 by owner Cornelis Filippo marked the transition from manual production to industrial manufacturing methods.
