Суконная фабрика Дюпюи

The Dupuis Textile Factory is a sprawling industrial complex in Pushkino comprising multiple structures centered around a grand classical portico with ten columns. The facility continues to manufacture wool and semi-wool blankets distributed across Russia and neighboring countries.

The complex was established in the late 1790s through a decree by Prince Grigory Potemkin and initially produced military overcoat fabric and felt hats. This founding marked the beginning of industrial development that would shape the town of Pushkino.

The factory developed as the heart of a self-contained neighborhood, with worker housing, medical facilities, and a church that shaped community life. These structures remain visible reminders of how production and daily existence were closely intertwined here.

The complex is located in Pushkino and remains partially accessible to visitors, though some areas continue active production. It is best to check access conditions in advance, as portions of the site are still working factory spaces.

The site includes former stables built specifically by Gustav Dupuis for breeding horses, which still stand as part of the historical ensemble. These buildings reveal how comprehensively Dupuis organized the infrastructure supporting factory operations.
