A BRIEF OF HISTORY
The gunpowder mill was founded on this site in 1718. In 1782, the mill exploded, prompting the construction of a new factory with outbuildings. Known as Gunpowder Mill No. 3, the complex includes a laboratory, sheds, a fire extinguishing tower, and staff quarters. It is a rare example of an eighteenth-century gunpowder factory with nineteenth-century modifications. In 1709, an explosion occurred at the gunpowder mill Het Oorlogsschip on Heiligeweg (now the Overtoom) in Amsterdam, owned by the firm Cornelis van Tulden & Cie. The city refused to grant a permit for reconstruction. However, in 1710, a permit was granted to relocate the gunpowder factory to a site outside the city. Residents of the proposed factory protested, and the move was thus cancelled. In 1718, a new permit was applied for, this time by Amsterdam notable Nicolaes Calkoen. The permit was granted, and the company began operations, initially using a horse mill. After several changes of ownership, the company came under the control of Hendrik van Hoorn in 1742. He was described as a "genuine gunpowder maker" and also owned other gunpowder mills. The company remained in the family's hands until 1843.
