Tips

The Hemp Factory was an industrial unit focused on the creation of ropes from Indian hemp twine. It was the largest of the four hemp factories in Greece, in production and facilities. It operated as a factory until 1967, and then it was abandoned. Later in 1997, the factory turned into a Recreation and Education Center, focusing on highlighting the history of the factory. It has also been incorporated as a new section of the Edessa Water Museum, operating until 2014, when it was finally closed due to debts and high maintenance costs. Regretfully, the site is not properly guarded and suffered huge damage.

The site is abandoned today, without any maintenance at all. It's ideal for urban/industrial decay photography.
