Sugarfactory

The Sugarfactory was a music venue and night club in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

[3] This building and the rest of the street block between Stadsschouwburg, Lijnbaansgracht and Leidsegracht has been used by De Granaatappel as sugar refinery since at least 1854.

[4][3] After multiple city expansions, by 1920 the refinery found itself located in what was now the centre of Amsterdam.

This and the competition and crisis after World War I, led to the refinery shutting down and selling its equipment and buildings in September 1920.

By the late 1970s, the building was renovated to provide studio spaces for art and later theatre rehearsals.
