🏛 Krasny Treugolnik Factory

Санкт-Петербург, наб. Обводного канала, 134–138

The giant red-brick complex of the Treugolnik rubber manufactory (since 1860) — the canal's main industrial panorama.

The Treugolnik manufactory was founded by the Hamburg entrepreneur Ferdinand Kraushopf: the company was established in 1859.
The ensemble of more than 150 buildings took shape from 1860 to 1917.
It was here that synthetic rubber was first put to industrial use.
The factory was named "Red Triangle" in 1922; until the late 1960s it was the largest producer of rubber goods.
It is the city's largest abandoned industrial zone — 34 hectares; in 2023, 50 buildings and 11 galleries were declared monuments.
Until the 1760s an oak grove planted under Peter the Great in 1715 rustled on the factory's site.
