Timmerfabriek, Museum and factory in Boschstraatkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands
The Timmerfabriek is a former factory building in Maastricht that now houses a cultural center with a concert hall, cinema, and exhibition spaces. The building with its original workshops, storage areas, and power generation plant occupies a large plot on Boschstraat.
The site was established in 1905 as part of the Royal Sphinx factories and originally manufactured wooden crates for shipping sanitary products. Over later decades, the industrial complex was fully transformed into a modern venue for art and culture.
The space now hosts music performances and a cinema where visitors can experience concerts, films, and art shows on a regular basis. These cultural activities shape how people spend their time here and draw audiences from across the city.
The site is located near Maastricht city center and is relatively easy to reach. Visitors should check the event calendar in advance since the program of concerts, film screenings, and art exhibitions changes regularly.
The site was renovated by multiple architecture firms that each took on different sections, creating a varied spatial experience throughout the complex. This distributed approach allowed different architectural styles to coexist while preserving visible traces of its industrial past.
