Molino Stucky

"The Molino Stucky is a Neo-Gothic building in Venice, on the western end of Giudecca island, near the ancient village Fortuny. It was designed by Ernst Wullekopf and built between 1884 and 1895 by the Swiss businessman Giovanni Stucky, whose father had married into the Italian Forti family and moved to the Veneto. It was first built as a flour mill supplied by boats across the lagoon and also operated as a pasta factory.

 

Extensions were added in 1895 but it began to decline in the 1910s before being permanently closed in 1955. [...]

 

As of today, the complex houses the Hilton Molino Stucky, a five-star hotel."
