Grindery of mirrors Rabštejn, Mirror grinding facility in Lindava, Czech Republic
The Rabštejn mirror grinding facility stands as a neo-Gothic industrial structure built in 1854 along the Svitavka River in the Velenice Valley.
Count Josef Jan Maximilian Kinský established the first mirror factory in 1756, leading to multiple grinding facilities across the Velenice Valley throughout the 18th century.
The facility produced Venetian mirrors that reached international markets through merchant networks, representing the Czech glass manufacturing traditions of the region.
Located between the river and sandstone cliffs, the nine-axis building features Gothic-style windows and maintains parts of its production space carved into the rock.
An extensive network of underground tunnels and channels supplied water from local streams for mirror polishing operations throughout the facility's active years.
