The Klokgebouw owes its name to the enormous clock on its façade, which for many years set the pace of the workday for thousands of Philips employees. The robust brick architecture, large factory hall windows, and raw industrial details have been preserved, giving the building its authentic, rugged character. Inside, the former production areas have been transformed into halls and studios, ideal for concerts, trade fairs, conferences, and festivals.
Today, the Klokgebouw is a popular venue for a wide range of events: from international dance parties and rock concerts to vintage markets, design fairs, and food festivals. Major names in the music world have performed here, but smaller cultural initiatives also find their place. The industrial setting creates a unique atmosphere you won’t easily find elsewhere.
The Klokgebouw is the beating heart of Strijp-S, a former Philips site that has evolved into a creative city district full of design shops, trendy cafés, art galleries, and innovative businesses. A visit to the building pairs perfectly with a stroll through the area, where old factories have been transformed into lofts, workshops, and cultural hubs.
The Klokgebouw is much more than just a building: it is a symbol of Eindhoven where past and future meet, and where creativity is given space to thrive. Whether you come for a concert, a festival, or simply to soak up the atmosphere of Strijp-S, you can feel the soul of the city here.
