This post is to celebrate the newspaper feature of my fellow sesyjni mordercy crew members in local newspaper, take a look if you have a spare second. Well done guys! Interview can be found here . visited with: Adm, Luks, Moc, Natalia and R2r in May last year. It was sort of a permission visit, where security guard was guiding us through one partially active building, adopted as a gym by a group of football hooligans. Then he gave us freedom to roam around the rest of the place. This is where we climbed the taller concrete building and managed to take few nice panoramas. Building itself bears a significant historical value but due to the actions of a current owner who prefers to sell anything of value to gain minor profit, rather than join the Heritage Trail ( Szlak Zabytków Techniki ) scheme (where the building could become a museum and perhaps recover), this listed building slowly crumbles.

Cotton Mill Elanex

One of the best abandoned places in Częstochowa at the moment. Visited on few occasions with sesyjni mordercy crew, goblinz strikes back. Factory was functioning from 1889 to 2002. Elanex is one of those industrial complexes, which in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century shaped the face of the textile Częstochowa. Land was purchased in 1889, and factory was established in the same year under the name of Motte, Meillassoux and Caulliez. The brick and stone architecture contains Neo-Gothic style, designed by Edward Lilpop well known in Łódź and Warsaw, the architect of many buildings, mainly banks. In 1926, "Motty" changed its name to Union Textile. After the war the factory was called the Wool Industry Plant Częstochowa (imienia Koszutskiej), and finally Elanex. It has been closed in October 2002.
