Het Zegel


Second building on the list ... And it was a very interesting building once again . The light in this building was amazing it was very special and beautifull light at some places in the building . What also was uuuhrm... interesting? was how many dead (and living) pigeons we saw in this building everywhere we looked we saw one or more dead pigeons I believe we must have seen about 60 dead pigeons after a while we even stopped paying attention to it .... We stayed in this building quite a long time and really enjoyed it overthere the only reasons we wanted to go out was because it was slowly getting dark outside and we were all getting a bit tired... We all had an awesome day and we thank the sun for shining so hard that day the weather was awesome..

These buildings were built in 1836. In the beginning it was a candle making factory but this soon went bankrupt and in 1843 the train company bought it to use it as a storehouse... In 1868 it was sold to the mail company and that is when the buildings became " Het zegel" . Back in the days it was the first and only stamp factory for many years and they kept on using the building till they moved out in 1993 and left the buildings abandoned.
