Brief synthesisDesigned and built in the 1920s, the Van Nellefabriek demonstrates an extremely accomplished industrial architecture. Via a common purpose agreed between the entrepreneur and the project architects and engineers, the Van Nellefabriek embodies an ideal factory, open to the outside world, whose interior working spaces are progressive, and in which daylight is used to provide pleasant working conditions. Criterion (ii): The Van Nellefabriek brings together and makes use of technical and architectural ideas originating from various parts of Europe and North America in the early 20th century. The property’s authenticity has thus been appropriately preserved in each of its aspects, and this is clearly perceptible both to the visitors and to the new business users of the Van Nellefabriek. Protection and Management requirementsThe Van Nellefabriek enjoys the highest level of state protection as it has been a listed national monument since 1985.
