Waterloods

The Waterloods at the mill site De Otter in Amsterdam has recently been fully renovated and made more sustainable, with attention to the historical value of the location. Originally, the warehouse was an essential part of the sawmill that was powered by the windmill De Otter for centuries. The characteristic woodwork, traditional architectural style, and monumental appearance have been carefully preserved.

During the restoration, the Waterloods has been made future-proof with sustainable insulation and an innovative heating system based on aquathermy. The national monument trusses and other historical elements have also been restored with great care, so that the rich heritage remains visible and tangible.

Today, the Waterloods is an inspiring place where nearly 400 years of history come together. It is a space that surprises even seasoned Amsterdammers as soon as they step inside. The special atmosphere of the historic building makes every visit unique and provides a characterful setting for business meetings, cultural events, and educational activities.

The location is exclusively available for business, cultural, and private gatherings. Unfortunately, private parties and weddings are not possible.

Additionally, De Otter offers something that is rare in Amsterdam: the entire mill site can be exclusively rented. This creates a private environment where visitors can meet undisturbed and fully experience the rich history, inspiring surroundings, and authentic atmosphere.
