Fayence-Manufaktur Wrisbergholzen, Timber-framed manufactory in Westfeld, Germany.

The Fayence-Manufaktur Wrisbergholzen spans 340 square meters, featuring a C-shaped floor plan with a 4-meter-high firing chamber and original decorative beams from 1736.

Baron Rudolf Johann von Wrisberg established the manufactory in 1736 after discovering suitable clay deposits when his initial plans for a pipe factory failed due to kaolin shortage.

The manufactory produced both everyday fayence items and large-format wall tiles, with special collections featuring Chinese motifs for wealthy customers between 1737 and 1834.

The Association for the Preservation of Historical Monuments in Wrisbergholzen has managed the building's restoration and maintenance since 1984, protecting its historical structure.

The building stands as the sole preserved 18th-century fayence manufactory in Northern Germany, maintaining its original pre-industrial factory structure.
