abandoned textile factory - Brno, Czechia

abandoned textile factory - Brno, Czechia

unfortunately almost the only "machine" remaining in the otherwise empty former spinning and weaving mill

colorful decay

The former spinning mill in Brno is situated next to the Svitava River. The most beautiful, the spinning mill has to offer, is the four-storey etagere from 1912 with distinctive industrial windows in metal frames. Inside all halls are empty, unfortunately all machines are gone. This is one of the oldest reinforced concrete skeletons in the Czech Republic. A small hydro power plant is still in operation. At the height of its glory, the factory employed up to 600 workers and was one of the region's most important factories. After the war, the Essler spinning mill was nationalised in 1948 and operated under the name of the National Enterprise Moravian-Silesian Woolen Mills. Production ended in 1992.
