Spinnerei Teesdorf

Spinnerei Teesdorf is a three-story industrial building with regular window arrangements and traditional Lower Austrian design of the early 1800s. The complex includes multiple connected structures and now contains residential apartments created through comprehensive renovation.

Johann Baptist von Puthon founded this cotton mill in 1803 as one of Austria's earliest industrial enterprises. The facility expanded over decades to become a major production center that shaped the region's industrial growth.

The mill served as a center for worker education and cooperation in the 1800s. It brought together employees and management in early attempts at shared economic models that influenced Central European industrial practice.

The site lies on the outskirts of town and connects to main roads for easy access. Renovation work in the 2010s updated pathways and entrances, making the grounds navigable and accessible for visitors today.

The mill's rooftop features a swimming pool that once served factory workers and later residents of the converted building. This blend of industrial structure and recreational space was uncommon for its era.
