White Factory

The White Factory (Polish: Biała Fabryka) is the classicist building in Łódź, Poland, constructed in 1835–1839 to host a textile factory which belonged to Ludwik Geyer.

It currently hosts the Central Museum of Textiles and Folk Dance Ensemble "HARNAM".

[1] The building is located at the southern end of Piotrkowska Street, south of the city center.

In the first half of the 19th century Łódź, which was a part of the Congress Poland and previously a small town, experienced a rapid economic and industrial development.

Simultaneously, the building was still exploited as a factory until 1990, when the production in the eastern wing stopped.
