Team Bresser has successfully jacked up and straightened the monumental lock keeper’s house in Veere. The characteristic building from 1872 had unevenly subsided, requiring careful rectification to restore its stability.
This project was extra special for our colleague Stefan, as it took place in his home region. The regional newspaper PZC covered the project with a video report and an in-depth story about this remarkable job.
A special job in Wassenaar. Bresser moved the 110-year-old coffee house 27 meters there. The national monument was moved to its new place by rails. Omroep West made a report.
The Imam Abdullah Zawiyah social complex (1249 – 1294) in Hasankeyf, Turkey is successfully relocated over a distance of 2 km to a cultural park. The relocation of the complex, consisting of several sperate objects, takes place in phases. The first object was moved on 10 September. This 800-tons weighing monument is positioned near the recently relocated 800-year-old Artuklu hamam and the 15th century tomb of Zeynel bey, which was relocated in 2017. The associated tower was also successfully moved to the new location the next day. The relocation of the last part of the complex is planned at the end of the month.
The cultural heritage of Hasankeyf is threatened to become flooded as a result of the construction of a dam. By the relocation of this important cultural heritage it can be retained for future generations.
The 800-year-old Artuklu Hamam in Hasankeyf, Turkey, has been successfully jacked up and relocated over a distance of 2.7 km to a higher situated cultural park. This remarkable monument relocation project demonstrates advanced engineering techniques used to preserve historic structures.
The historic hammam is now positioned near the Tomb of Zeynel Bey, which was relocated by Bresser in May 2017 as part of the same cultural heritage preservation effort.
The cultural heritage of Hasankeyf has long been under threat due to the construction of a large dam, which risks flooding the historic area. Through the relocation and restoration of monuments, these invaluable heritage sites have been preserved for the future.

Doing business in Turkey? Director Taco Bresser shared his insights during the national Chamber of Commerce event on international business, #Road2TheWorld.
The occasion was Bresser’s recent work in Turkey, where the company was involved in the relocation of valuable cultural heritage. In southeastern Turkey, a medieval tomb had to be moved to make way for the construction of a dam. Thanks to Bresser’s knowledge and expertise, this monument was successfully relocated and preserved for future generations.
In addition, Bresser is also active in Istanbul, where work is underway to preserve a centuries-old clock tower. These projects underscore Bresser’s international role in protecting and preserving historical heritage.
