Tips
The Plessa Power Plant, with its two chimneys, is the only remaining witness to coal production and processing in the Plessa region. Unlike other factories and power plants, the Plessa Power Plant was able to escape demolition.The colossal industrial facilities were preserved in their original form – as they first went into operation in 1927.Today, the power plant is an industrial monument and museum. It was designated a historic monument in 1985. The building, with its harmonious appearance due to its strict symmetry, is considered the oldest lignite-fired power plant in Europe. Visitors can experience traces of the past in all their authenticity and grandeur.
