Parkhaven or Veilinghaven is the former harbour of the Utrecht fruit and vegetable auction along the Merwedekanaal.
After the auction and cattle market had left the area around 1970, the grounds became available to the Jaarbeurs.
Around 1995, several of the harbours were drained, the industrial estate was appointed residential area and Parkhaven was developed.
Part of the old Veilinghaven that remained, was refurbished as a landing for historic houseboats.
Industriële karakter van de haven is terug te zien in een gerestaureerde loskraan en vier zand- en grindtrechters. Deze ‘U-Trechters’ zijn te huur als vergaderruimte. In het voormalige havengebouw is nu een restaurant gevestigd
The industrial character of the old harbour can still be seen in a restored unloading crane and four sand and gravel funnels.
These 'U-Trechters' (funnels) can be rented as conference rooms.
The former harbour building now houses a restaurant.
The area appeals to architect lovers from the Netherlands and abroad and is also characterised by differences in height and red bricks.
