Spinning Eraldo Krumm with mill

From mills to factories

Since 1824, the former Krumm, one of the first textile companies in Legnano, has been built, exploiting a pre-existing mill owned by Durini. Today there is a disused factory.

Built in 1824, the factory exploited the course of the Olonella that descended from the side of the Madonna delle Grazie Church, then diverted and canalised with a more linear path towards the Castle.
The mill, equipped with a large double shovel, already owned by Count Giovanni Durini in 1772 and was later boughyt by Eraldo Krumm who used it for his company, one of the most important in Legnano. The mill was visible behind the castle. Today there is the former Mambretti, a disused factory.
