Schweikert Factory, Industrial textile factory in Old Polesie, Łódź, Poland.

The Schweikert Factory extends over 150 meters in length and covers 12,000 square meters of space, featuring red brick walls and large windows.

Built in 1893 by Hermann Schweikert, the factory manufactured woolen scarves for export to Russia until the end of World War II.
