Guided Tour Van Nelle Factory

Explore the great Van Nelle Factory with a private tour of City Rotterdam. Completed in 1931, the Van Nelle Factory became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2014 as the most prominent industrial monument in the Netherlands. 

You could say that the Van Nelle Factory was Rotterdam’s first modern architectural masterpiece. For that reason Le Corbusier called it ‘the most beautiful spectacle of the modern age’. Designed by the functionalist architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt together with the visionary captain of industry Cees van der Leeuw, this ideal factory is a classic example of the Nieuwe Bouwen Dutch school architecture of the inter-war period. This guided tour is not only ideal for devotees of architecture, but also for lovers of art, design, history and industrial heritage.
