HEMbrugterrein

About HEMbrugterrein

HEMbrugterrein is a cultural centre housing several restaurants, museums and creative venues. Formerly derelict, the site acted as a base for a munition factory since 1985, producing artillery and firearms for the Dutch army. After years of vacancy, the site opened to the public again in 2014. Bordering Amsterdam and Zaandam, the rejuvenated complex now offers visitors a wealth of fascinating places to discover – with cultural centre Het Hem as the focal point of its artistic activities. HEMbrug refers to the former railway bridge across the North Sea Canal between Zaandam and Amsterdam. HEM is the historical name for land outside the dykes, in this case in the former IJ.
