An impressive building complex. The name "Alte Baumwoll" (Old Cotton Mill) is symbolic of one of Saxony's oldest spinning mills, which operated continuously for such a long period. The mill thus holds special significance for the town and the region. "Alte Baumwoll" was not only a major economic force, but its distinctive industrial architecture continues to shape Flöha's cityscape. The entire site, including the park and the "Immenhof" villa, is now a listed historical monument. https://baumwolle-floeha.de/geschichte/
