The Theater Podium Grotekerkplein was designed by architects Atelier Kempe Thill. Situated between the gothic Sint Laurenskerk (Saint Laurens cathedral) and the Delftsevaart canal, the Grotekerkplein was formed only during the course of the modernist reconstruction of the city centre of Rotterdam, which was almost entirely destroyed during WW2.
