FILATURE ACCIDENTELLEUrban explorers are in the habit of renaming the locations they visit a pseudonym. The - somewhat vain - hope is that such locations will then be harder to find for those with more sinister intentions than mere photography or simple curiosity. In most cases, these pseudonyms somehow refer to the original activities that took place there. This piece of industrial history was given the name ‘Filature Accidentelle’. So you would half expect to end up in a spinning mill (French: filature). The namesake may have been misled by the striking presence of a sewing machine… Actually, this factory, or at least the part that remains of it, was a malt house, where grain was processed into malt for the production of beers. The very scarce information that can be found about it shows that the factory dates from around 1880. During the Second World War it was temporarily used as a military barracks. Parts of the factory have since been demolished, while other parts were given another purpose. This last part of the malthouse, with its imposing chimneys and ovens, was hit by a massive fire in 2011, which reduced almost the entire top floor to ashes. Fortunately, enough was saved on the lower floors to make a visit worthwhile.  -- source link
