Seifenfabrik Graz, Protected monument in Graz, Austria.
Seifenfabrik Graz is a protected monument housing exhibition halls and event spaces in the city center. The building comprises several large rooms, including one that accommodates up to 1200 people and another for about 600 people.
The red brick building was constructed in 1871 as a sewage facility and later transformed into a soap factory. Production ended in 1997, and the building reopened in 2003 as a venue for public events.
The space now serves artists and event organizers who present theater, music, and exhibitions within its walls. Visitors notice how the old industrial structure provides a distinctive setting for contemporary cultural activities.
The venue works for different types of events, from exhibitions to concerts, with flexible room options available. The accessible layout and size of the halls make it easy for visitors to navigate the space where their event takes place.
A 50-meter tall chimney with a circular earth wall stands independently after the heating building was demolished. This striking industrial smokestack remains a surprising reminder of the site's former factory use in the middle of the city.
