De Ambacht, situated on the corner of Stationsstraat and Molenstraat-Centrum, is to be expanded with a residential tower block comprising 187 affordable flats. The distinctive building of the former vocational school and its historic features will be preserved as far as possible. The new plans will continue to provide space for businesses, hospitality venues and green spaces.
Doing business, relaxing, socialising and living. You can do it all at De Ambacht. This is where Apeldoorn’s history and future come together. A building everyone knows: De Ambacht in Apeldoorn. Although it may look like a simple box-like structure, the building has great historical value. It was once the pride of the school’s pupils and teachers. And it still evokes warm feelings and memories among the people of Apeldoorn.
The plans for De Ambacht are moving into the next phase. The environmental plan was available for public inspection in December 2025 and January 2026. The comments received in response are now being incorporated into a consultation report. The municipal council is expected to consider the plan in October 2026. If the council adopts the plan, the planning application can then be processed.
