Built in 1901, the factory was closed in 1981 after production was relocated to Hamburg.

The listed building is currently being extensively renovated and converted into a chic apartment building. A good example of the preservation and subsequent use of historic buildings. No run-of-the-mill residential silos from the drawing board. Great !

In 1901, the Bensdorp chocolate factory was built in the German city of Kleve, in the immediate vicinity of the Van den Bergh margarine factory. The chocolate factory was completely destroyed in the Second World War, and operations could not be resumed until 1949. In 1962, Bensdorp merged with the cocoa manufacturer Blooker's Cacao- en Chocolade Fabrieken, based in Amsterdam. In October 1971, a new office building was moved into and in 1972 the Unilever Group took over the company.
