Ruigoord

Ruigoord is a creative village and artist's community surrounded by an industrial harbour just outside of Amsterdam.

Creative community

In 1973, the abandoned village at Ruigoord was squatted by a group of artists from Amsterdam and has since become a small but flourishing community. It has been the source of many major Dutch creative movements and continues to play a central role in Amsterdam’s underground art scene.
