Rietveld Schröder House

I love modernist architecture and this house was a fascinating example. While we were there, one of the guides moved all of the walls so we could see how the open plan looked. It’s a short tram ride and then a 10 minute walk from the Utrecht central station. If you love architecture and design, it’s worth the visit, even on a day trip from Amsterdam.

Wonderful experience and a fascinating house. It’s worth a side trip from Amsterdam if you’re interested in 20th century architecture. It is mostly a self-guided tour with an audio player. Make sure you know how it operates before you leave the office to begin the tour. Guides there were very helpful with equipment. It’s worth reading/listening to all the extra bits at each stop. Afterwards we went to the tiny Japanese coffee cafe in back (built in the former garden shed for the house) and it was very good.

I find this house a timeless exploration of form, function, and color. What impresses me most is the seamless integration of movable walls and sliding panels, allowing the interior to transform dynamically according to the needs of its inhabitants. This level of spatial adaptability was revolutionary for its time (1924) and remains inspiring today. The house is not only an architectural icon but also a profound statement about how design can influence daily life — balancing simplicity, geometric clarity, and a playful use of space. It’s a must-visit for anyone passionate about modernism and architectural history.

I was there 25 years ago and was now able to bring my kids there. Its now a self guided tour but someone was present to demonstrate the moving walls and answer questions. Any architecture fan owed it to themselves to see this masterpiece.

How a furniture maker becomes an architect. How 2 people inspire eachother and are way ahead of time and space. If you are in Utrecht, this is an absolute must. Attention: reserve a spot online and weeks before your visit!.

If you are an architecture buff, this is a must see. It's a gorgeous 30 minute walk along safe streets and through parks from the train station. I *knew* that the appeal of the design was the movable walls. I didn't *understand* until I was standing in the space. Incredible, special, and peaceful. Staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Get your tickets ahead of time (it says so clearly on the website)-the house is too small to accommodate walk ins.

One of the greatest architectural attractions to see in Netherlands. It really impressive to see something so progressive in the pretty conservative neighborhood. You should pay attention to working hours and book tickets in advance because they have a tight schedule with groups and short working hours. Tickets can also be bought next door. People working there are kind are ready to explain everything. There is a nice coffee shop on the right and paid street parking is in front of the property. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing house from 1924. The entrance is free if you have a museum card, if not you'll have to pay around 14 euros, which are totally worth it. I hope you can get the demonstration on the 'day' and 'night' house arrangement. Try to make an appointment online. The house is amazing and super beautiful
