The factory was located in a pit next to industry railway and a street.

This was the oldest part from 1901, the power station. Second storey was built for the needs of felt production.

The other side was unplastered.

Summer time view to the newer part of felt factory built in 1960's. What comes to looks, it wasn't quite as attractive as the old part.

Founding year of the city's electricity works was masoned to the smoke stack. For last decades it must have been unused and cold, which caused it to decay to a state where preserving this locally interesting relic was no longer possible.

Rather modest main gate.

Memory from times before element building.

Condition of the estate was bad. Not only because of age, but because of the same old thing. Vandals had broken everything that could be broken without machine power.

 |
For last years, graffiti ruled the area. A message on the wall told what would happen to those who paint over pieces.

The sister company of felt factory produced shoes in this tiny building. It looked so small it could've well been an office, but it just wasn't.

Door was locked until the end, but all other routes in were usable.

This interesting looking booth didn't contain access to underground tunnel network. It was just a booth.

A strange thing to notice on the first visit (early spring with snow) was that there were lots of paths around the factory. Way too much for an abandoned factory; like someone would have walked around the building all day.
|
|---|
 |
The cause for the paths was discovered soon. A woman ran a cat hotel in the ruined factory. She walked around the place during our both visits and yelling after cats "Misuuuuuu, where are you".

One resident spent some time by the window.

Somebody stole a cat-carrying basket.
