Cromford Manor House

In 1783 the textile manufacturer Johann Gottfried Brügelmann built the magnificent manor house next to his factory. It is built in the style of a noble pleasure palace of the late baroque. The factory was the first cotton spinning mill on the European mainland. Today it is an industrial museum specialising in textile history.
