Rote Fabrik, Cultural center and music venue in Wollishofen, Switzerland.
Rote Fabrik is a former factory building along Zurich's lakeside that now operates as a cultural center. The structure contains multiple performance spaces, exhibition areas, and a concert hall all within the same industrial facility.
The building was originally built as a silk mill and ceased production in 1940. Decades later, youth movements took over the space and transformed it into a cultural venue.
The Rote Fabrik is a place where contemporary art and music are experienced regularly. Visitors can see exhibitions and hear performances by local and international artists who animate the space.
The venue sits along Zurich's waterfront and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can explore the grounds freely and find an on-site restaurant for dining.
The venue was a popular spot for rock music in the 1990s before many bands achieved international fame. Early performances by later world-renowned artists made the space a notable point in music history.
