The ServicedApartments.NL Guide to Eindhoven

Strijp-S

Strip-S is the former factory complex of Philips & Co, with the first factory being built in 1916, providing Philips with glass for its lightbulbs. A gasworks factory, cardboard factory, and a physics laboratory followed. This “Forbidden City”, so-called because of the fences and barriers that once surrounded the complex is now a creative and cultural center filled with shops, restaurants, sports clubs, and places to work, sleep, and live.
