De Nieuwe Kolk in Assen is a cultural center housed within a former church building dating back to 1881. Originally the Sint-Jozefkerk, it underwent renovation in the 1980s transforming it into a venue dedicated to music, theatre, dance, and other performing arts. The space retains much of its original architectural character, including stained glass windows and high ceilings, contributing to its unique acoustic properties. It’s known for hosting a diverse program focusing on both established and emerging artists, with an emphasis on intimate performances suited to its relatively small capacity – approximately 250 seats. The venue actively supports a range of artistic disciplines and serves as a significant cultural hub for the Assen region.
