Theater de Efteling is one of the five big theatres in the Netherlands.
Being designed by van de Ven, it perfectly matches the typical Efteling style. The surroundings consist of old Dutch warehouses. Besides the theatre the building holds a large foyer and a restaurant. The total building costs added up to € 20 million[1].
