Westergas is Amsterdam’s cultural district. Open day and night for anyone with an appetite for new energy. The site used to be home to a factory that kept the lights of the city burning. Now Westergas is a green, vibrant oasis where you can come to recharge. With great partners and programming, we make art and culture accessible to local and international guests. Together, we want to take better care of people, the city and nature. Cross the bridge and discover an ideal small world where you will always come away feeling enriched.
For many years, Westergas, located in the green Westerpark, has been a household name in Amsterdam. Since 2018, the monumental factory buildings have been owned by Duncan & Lisca Stutterheim, real estate company MILLTEN and Harvest Vastgoed. A trust was established for this purpose with young Amsterdam investors, and one entrepreneur from the Dutch province of Twente, who want to turn Westergas into a Cultural District for this and future generations.
The Cultural District has no less than 17 buildings which are managed by real estate company MILLTEN and Harvest Vastgoed. Of the 17 properties, three are operated by Westergas, the event company of Duncan & Lisca Stutterheim and Foppe Eshuis & Lennart Rottier (MILLTEN). With the iconic Gashouder, the industrial Transformatorhuis and the picturesque Meterhuisje, Westergas provides broad programming for everyone, for all ages and for every budget.
The other historic buildings on the Westergas are home to a host of permanent tenants, also known as our residents. We offer room to creative, cultural and innovative entrepreneurs who contribute to our Cultural District. In cooperation with MILLTEN, we look for the perfect mix on the site. The door is always open to new tenants with inspiring ideas.
