Rietveld Schröder House
Rietveld Schröderhuis
A landmark of the De Stijl architecture movement, completed in 1924, whose flexible spaces influenced modern architecture. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This house was designed by architect Gerrit Rietveld for Mrs. Truus Schröder and completed in 1924. It is the only building fully realised according to the principles of De Stijl. Primary-coloured red, yellow and blue lines combine with grey and white planes, and on the upper floor sliding partitions let you switch between an open space and several separate rooms. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. The house is managed by the Centraal Museum, and visits require advance booking of a time slot on the official website. The ticket includes an audio guide. The house is closed on Mondays, and places are limited. It is about 15 minutes from the city centre by bus or bike, and you can buy a combined ticket with the Centraal Museum.
