Abandoned Factory

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the potato flour industry in the province of Groningen was concentrated mainly in the fen colonies. Built in 1916, this cooperative potato flour mill was one of the last to be established in the area. After the factory closed in 1981, the site and buildings were used by various small businesses. Besides the offices, the original boiler house with chimney and factory hall are still standing. The building has been empty since 1999.
