Ehemalige Kammgarnspinnerei
Ehemalige Kammgarnspinnerei, Industrial heritage site in Schaffhausen, Switzerland
The Ehemalige Kammgarnspinnerei is a wool spinning mill in Schaffhausen built in the style of 19th-century industrial architecture. The building features rows of large windows to provide natural light for workers and thick masonry walls designed to support heavy machinery.
The mill was built in the 19th century when Schaffhausen became a major textile production center. As the regional textile industry declined later, the building was repurposed and eventually protected as a heritage site.
The building reflects the textile heritage that once defined Schaffhausen's character and economy. Its large windows and sturdy frame still convey how workers once moved through these spaces during the height of the mill's activity.
The site is walkable from the town center and located in a traditional industrial quarter. Visitors should wear appropriate layers, as the interior spaces can feel cool regardless of the season.
The building now hosts varied uses that demonstrate how old industrial spaces can be repurposed for contemporary needs. This adaptive reuse preserves the structure while breathing new purpose into the spaces.
