Stadstimmerwerf Schiedam

Highlight • Historical Site

The city carpentry house or city carpentry yard used to be a building in a city, where the materials for the city works were stored, and where later the city carpenter also lived and worked. In Schiedam, the city carpentry yard was located at Korte Haven 135. The city carpentry yard is an elongated, 18th-century building, now a national monument, consisting of two brick wings with low floors and hipped roofs. In the middle of the facade is a simple gate with pilasters and entablature.

Korte Haven (Short Harbour)

Highlight • River

The Korte Haven is a canal approximately 400 meters long in the west of Schiedam's city center. The Korte Haven was dug in 1577 and connects the Nieuwe Haven (Westvest) in the west with the Lange Haven in the east. The Vlaardingen gate, demolished in 1862, stood on the west side.

Zakkendragershuis Schiedam

Highlight • Historical Site

The striking Zakken carriers house from 1725 served as a guild house for the Zakken carriers guild Sint Anthonis. The bag carriers have been allowed to unload goods since 1465, supplied by the many grain and malt ships. The guild and the Zakken carriers house therefore formed an important link in the Schiedam economy. In the roof of the turret hangs a clock that warned the bag carriers when goods were to be loaded or unloaded on a ship. There is a waiting room in the building for the bag carriers who lived in the neighborhood and would not hear the bell. The work was "smashed" for the distribution of work: the men dropped dice through a funnel, and whoever rolled the highest eyes got the available work. Despite increasing industrialization and mechanization in the nineteenth century, the bag carriers remained indispensable for transport. The Schiedamse Zakken carriers guild is the only guild that still exists in Europe.

Library (ex-Korenbeurs)

Highlight • Monument

The construction of the Korenbeurs was completed on April 17, 1792. Burners and distillers could trade in the courtyard of the Korenbeurs. The building played a central role in Schiedam's jenever production. Today the library is located there. The covered courtyard is now an atrium with tall trees and plants. (So go and have a look inside!) Also nice: above the reading table hangs a large chandelier with gin glasses.

Old City Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Schiedam's Old Town Hall is located on the Grote Markt. Built in 1538, it was rebuilt in 1606 after a fire in 1604, and given its current gables in 1637. The double staircase dates from 1717-1718. In 1782, it was modernized by then-city architect Rutger van Bol'es.

The last meeting of the city council was held here in January 1973. One section of the town hall houses a restaurant, while the other is used for weddings, meetings, and other representative functions.

Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven opened the restored Town Hall on October 22, 2004. The restoration took eighteen months and was made possible by a Kanjer grant from the National Heritage Agency.

The restoration of the old town hall addressed both the interior and exterior. The paintwork, ceilings, and furnishings of various rooms have been renovated. The exterior facade and the turret have also been restored.

A restaurant is located in the basement of the old town hall. The old town hall is also used as a wedding venue.
