Trechter Hotel (Red and Blue in Harlingen (2))
Europe, The Netherlands, Friesland, Harns/Harlingen, Nieuwe Willemshaven, Trechter Hotel (uncut)
A spectacular minimalist example of industrial transformation in Harlingen Harbour. I never knew an old sand hopper could function as a place to live in. It's the 'Trechter Hotel'.
In the early 1900s, this mobile red sand hopper was Rotterdam-based. It served as a transfer point for sand, gravel and other bulk goods from ships to trucks and was transported to Harlingen. In 2018 the funnel was transformed into a luxurious Bed and breakfast, luckily retaining its red livery.
This is number 6 of the Harns/Harlingen album and 35 of Naar het Noorden.
