What makes Noord a special place?

Noord has a soul. When we went to look at the housing project in the old prison, we were sold within ten minutes. You can still feel the shackles, but according to Wouter, who is an archaeologist, there are no longer any old ghosts hanging around. Because the complex is walled, it is an oasis of peace. Once you enter the gates, you get a village feel. Walking through Noord feels like travelling. The pioneering spirit is everywhere, it has the same raw vibe as Berlin.
