De Toekomst is a former strawboard factory in East Groningen, Scheemda. and was built in 1900 to bring economic prosperity to the region. Unfortunately, all did not work out as hoped and the production of strawboard was discontinued in 1968.
The factory fell into disrepair over time because the then owner did not perform any maintenance. In 2009, renovation work was finally started.
Besides the fact that the factory houses many old production machines, also some oldtimers find their home here. Also this Volvo N84 from 1965 can be found there. This side view gives you a good impression of those typical curved lines from the 50s and 60s. Instantly nostalgic.
