The main buildings Old Spinning Mill (Stara Przędzalnia) and New Spinning Mill (Nowa Przędzalnia) and some outbuildings have already been renovated. They are used as apartments (lofts - "Lofty de Girarda"), offices, shops and as a hotel.

The residential building, rebuilt from a flax spinning mill, was built in 1913 in Żyrardów.

It was one of the most modern buildings of the Linen Plant and one of the first in the world made of reinforced concrete, adapted to the loads resulting from the work of several thousand spindles. In order to evenly distribute the stresses and vibrations of the building, the roof structure was loaded with earth, and then plants were planted. There was a fire tank on the roof of the building. The water, which was drawn from the Górny Staw on Pisia Gągolin, was to flood all the floors of the building in turn in the event of a fire. On the top floor, below the fire tank, there were two other huge water tanks used to store water used for flax processing (so-called wet spinners). The water was drawn from a source located on the factory premises. It was the cleanest and healthiest water in Żyrardów.
