Have you ever gone out on the water in the historic LeuveHaven of Rotterdam to look at and find out all about bridge keepers' houses? And in the meantime give something good back to the people of Rotterdam? Join this session!!
During the discovery tour by boat, we will show you the beauty of the small vacant heritage, some of which have been (sustainably) repurposed and others are still in use or are empty. We meet the initiators and can ask them anything.
We start at ‘de Lage Erfbrug - where it all started for our foundation by Lotti Hesper. Then we continue by metro and get off at the historic ‘Leuvenhaven’ of Rotterdam. At the Maritiem Museum we hop on the bus boats and meet the initiator of KleanUpKlup 'Sterker door Schoon', they keep the water of Rotterdam clean. We sail further on the water to explore some other bridgekeeper houses in the Rotterdam port area from the boat and we tell you about the past, present and future of the tiny properties. And while we are having fun, we ask the participants to do a Harbor Clean Up, so we leave a clean trail.
Since 2012, the Bridge Keepers' Houses Foundation has built up various expertise in the field of knowledge center, projects and management and aims to give empty bridge keepers' houses in the Netherlands a new and sustainable purpose.
