Spinnerei Harland, Historic silk mill in St. Pölten, Austria.
The Spinnerei Harland industrial complex features large windows, brick architecture, and multiple buildings dedicated to textile production and processing activities.
Founded in 1859 by Mathias Salcher, the mill expanded from a sawmill into a major textile facility that employed 1,400 workers until its closure in 1991.
The factory established schools, kindergartens, and housing facilities for its workers, forming an industrial community in the Harland district of St. Pölten.
The protected monument status ensures the preservation of this industrial heritage site, which stands as an example of 19th-century manufacturing architecture.
The facility gained recognition for producing iron yarn under specific brand names including Gemse, Schwan, Schmetterling, Löwe, and Waage.
