Pulverfabrik Föhrenwald Sankt Egyden/Steinfeld, Industrial ruins in Sankt Egyden am Steinfeld, Austria.
The abandoned Pulverfabrik Föhrenwald factory consists of concrete structures and underground bunkers spread across a wooded area near Wiener Neustadt.
Founded in 1890 by Nobel Dynamit AG, this explosives factory employed 400 Italian workers and operated extensively during both World Wars.
The three-story administration building represents the architectural style of late 19th-century industrial complexes in Lower Austria.
The site requires careful exploration due to soil contamination, with a 750-cubic-meter water reservoir installed in 2016 for fire prevention.
The surrounding forest shows a distinct ring of barren land where vegetation cannot grow due to high phosphorus content from powder production.
