Van Haren, Waalwijk, Shoe factory complex at Hoogeinde, Waalwijk, Netherlands

The factory complex includes several national monuments, including a main building, staff residence, canteen, and entrance gate with metal arch displaying Van Haren inscription.

Johannes van Haren purchased this factory in 1913, and by 1937 the facility produced 21,000 pairs of shoes weekly with 1,400 employees.

The main building hall features wall paintings by artist Theo van Delft depicting the leather industry and Van Haren operations.

The former production facility now houses Morentz company, which specializes in furniture design and creation since 2006.

During World War II, German forces requisitioned the factory building to maintain aircraft engines, temporarily halting shoe production.
