Van Nellefabriek Rotterdam (updated edition)

The iconic Van Nellefabriek is inextricably linked to Rotterdam’s dynamic world port. This modernist masterpiece on the Schie canal was originally built for the processing and packaging of coffee, tea and tobacco. The neon sign on the roof still testifies to this past.

After careful adaptive re-use, the Van Nellefabriek is now used by the creative industry and as an event venue. Meanwhile, this grand ‘poem in steel and glass’ has obtained a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is partially accessible to the public.

This actualized edition of the successful guide gives a clear explanation of the key features of the Van Nellefabriek. Van Nellefabriek Rotterdam is meant for all those who want to know more about the origin and design of this World Heritage site, and wish to discover its beauty.
