CANDLE IN THE WIND

An old abandoned candle factory is something you don't get to see very often. Especially one that has been abandoned many years ago, yet still shows no trace of vandalism; only natural decay...

When you see these two 19th century mansions located next to each other, you would not suspect that a gem of industrial heritage is hidden behind the protected rococo facades. Both houses, although empty, still offered some nice corners, but the real surprise lay in the small factory behind them.

The brick building was originally used as a gin distillery, probably in the mid-19th century. However, around the turn of the century it was transformed into a candle factory.

Candles were mainly made for churches and chapels, such as Easter candles. The factory remained active until the mid-1980s and has been frozen in time ever since.

More than 40 years later, the entire building is threatened with demolition to make way for new apartment buildings. However, both houses were included in the inventory of architectural heritage. The permit to demolish all buildings was issued by the city, but was annulled after an appeal procedure before the Council for Permit Disputes. Two years have now passed and there appears to be no further movement in the demolition and construction...
