Coster Diamonds factory

Coster Diamonds was the first diamond cutting factory in the Netherlands to introduce steam as the source of power.

In 1970 the old diamond factory had to make way for the construction of the underground. Coster Diamonds moved to its current location at the Paulus Potterstraat and until today – more than 70 years later – the heritage of Mozes Coster has been kept alive in three stately premises, beautifully situated between the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.
