Teerhof

Up to the end of the 19th century, mixed industrial and residential developments led to a widely varying collection of buildings.

By the 1930s, the Teerhof was made up of storehouses, small production facilities, a coffee factory and housing.

When it closed in 1973, the building was sold to the city and was used for various cultural events including artists' ateliers and art exhibitions, until it was decided it should become a collectors' museum.

In 1977, after decades of neglect the Danish architects firm Dissing & Weitling were charged to develop the area.
