Theaterloods - Radio Kootwijk

The monumental Radio Kootwijk

In the heart of the Veluwe, the trees of the Netherlands' largest forest area suddenly make way for a large open area of ??heathland and sand drifts: the Kootwijkerzand. With an area of ??700 hectares, the Kootwijkerzand is the largest active sand drift in Western Europe. In the middle is the monumental Radio Kootwijk. In the first half of the 20th century, the former transmitting station formed an important communication link between its former colonies, especially the Dutch East Indies.

The construction of the eclectic building started in 1918. Now almost 100 years later, Radio Kootwijk is an event and meeting location with a completely individual character. A unique high-impact event location for companies and institutions. An impressive cultural-historical monument for the public. The building can also be visited via a guided tour or on your own during opening days. You can find this information via www.staatsbosbeheer.nl. The road to it, the imposing main building, the peace, space and nature; It's space that touches you!

Theaterloods

De Theaterloods Radio Kootwijk: Spa for people and organizations. At this industrial location in the middle of the Veluwe, everything revolves around a day that you feel. Fueled by the power of art, dance and culture. But also the power of science and nature. Because that resonates. And resonance works. Always. With everyone.

They do this with unique programs for people and organizations that challenge the quality of our work and life and bring us into conversation with each other. About themes that are valuable and fit the questions of our time. Based on the conviction that open-hearted conversations bring people closer together and help to gain understanding for different points of view. Inspiring and motivating.

Since 1997, they have been at the basis of many transitions and developments in various sectors. Since 2011, they have been located on the site of the iconic Radio Kootwijk.

De Theaterloods is housed in a former work shed on the site of the radio telegraphic transmission station Radio Kootwijk. The work shed was used for the construction and maintenance of transmission equipment until the transmitter park closed. In 2011, the monumental building was put into use as ‘De Theaterloods’ and tastefully furnished for groups of up to 145 people.
