Dip baths
Built in 1952, not a monument
Past
This building is a prime example of a factory building dating from the reconstruction period. It was here that shells and grenade casings were made and stored. In the 1980s, some of it was converted to dip baths, a workshop where grenade casings were degreased, phosphated, lacquered, and muffled. It was also the paint shop for packaging materials.
Present
Nowadays, furniture maker Sander Borsje has his workshop here. His business focuses on furniture and interior design, and exhibition design.
The Zaans Museum was founded in 1998 on the Zaanse Schans to guard and preserve the Zaan heritage.

In 1697, the Russian Tsar Peter the Great stayed in this world-famous house in the center of Zaandam.
