This historic building run by the Continental Music Association was built in 1893 and was originally used by the Oostergasfabriek as part of the city’s gasworks. The impressive edifice eventually fell into disrepair when Amsterdam finally switched over to natural gas, but was saved in the 1980s. The building is now a theatre and a reception hall for special events so if you’re looking for an interesting wedding venue or a place to hold a corporate event the main hall with its traditional interior might be a good option.
