The place where sustainability, heritage, and creativity come together
The mill grounds, the mill, and its sheds together constitute national heritage, a museum in the making. To preserve this place for future generations, it is possible to rent the timber drying sheds for special gatherings of a substantive, cultural, or social nature. Especially when there is something important at stake, when something is at play, or when something needs to be done.
Molen van West is a historic urban oasis in Amsterdam-West, on the grounds of Molen De Otter, the oldest working sawmill in the world dating back to 1631. Here, heritage, sustainability, and creativity come together. A place where meaningful encounters can take place. In the heart of the city, but outside of time.
The feeling you get when entering the mill grounds is something you cannot convey with words or images; it is an experience. A quiet urban oasis in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle, 400 years of palpable history, wooden trusses, a welcoming atmosphere, and a group of millers keeping the mill turning: living heritage that you won't find anywhere else in Amsterdam.
Ideal for cultural institutions, impact organizations, policymakers, strategy teams, top consultancy firms, embassies, law and notary firms, financial institutions, creative agencies, food and design brands, visionaries, and artists.
And above all: a place with a soul.
