The Vrij Paleis occupies a former printing house on the Paleisstraat, distinguished by a wide, heavy stone facade that anchors the corner. In the nineteen eighties, this building served as the epicenter for squatters protesting the city's housing policies. When the city tried to evict the residents, they famously barricaded the doors and held the space against police for weeks. Today, the building serves as a collective studio for artists and musicians, keeping the spirit of that stubborn resistance alive.
