Extreme tour. Joala Factory: from cellar to tower (EST, RUS)
Event overview
The history of the Krenholm textile factories can be seen as an ideal textbook for studying the world textile industry of the 19th and 20th centuries: dizzying economic ups and downs, unprecedented for Estonia scale of production and momentous partnership agreements, the construction of an entire textile city around the factory buildings and the incredible stories of the workers who ended up here by fate.
We'll tell you all about it on our new tour, which takes place inside the Joala Factory, a red-brick building with breathtaking views from its tower. Being one of the last in the Krenholm complex to be closed, the Joal Factory has preserved the atmosphere of the enterprise in the best possible way: the hum of spinning machines is in the walls, the steps still remember hundreds of feet running up and down.....
Due to the fact that the building has been empty for several years, there is no electricity and there are some dangerous places. Therefore the number of group participants is limited, age 16+, at the beginning of the tour all participants are obliged to undergo a safety briefing and wear safety helmets.
Facilities: During the tour you can leave your car/bus in the free car park next to the entrance.
