In the 18th century, the listed dyer's house housed an "Imperial and Royal Privileged Cotton and Damis Factory" that employed up to 130 people to manufacture and dye fabrics and had its own sales outlet in Vienna. The high attic under the shingled roof was used to dry the dyed fabric. The valuable wooden tram ceiling on the ground floor testifies to the owners' former wealth. As the first tenant after 22 years of vacancy, ARTifex is now bringing color and new life back to the historic building.
