Operational buildings of the Paper Factory

Kind: Immovable material heritage
Century: 19
Year: 1821
Purpose: industrial

These two buildings were built separately, but they were subsequently altered so as to function as a unique space. They were built between 1821 and 1827, while the roof was reconstructed around 1927/28. In the initial phase of construction, brick and stone with lime mortar were used. Brickwork with cement mortar and reinforced concrete is visible in later alterations. The building was originally designed as a hall for sorting and storing rags, but it became part of the plant later. The importance of these buildings lies in the ground-floor manufacturing rooms with their clearly visible baroque architectural moulding. The storage space on the ground floor was built with arcs to maximize its bearing capacity.

Valorization:
