Welcome to the abandoned Polam Philips factory



Like the wildly swinging door, this factory has had many names and many uses in the past. Construction started in 1922 and the plant produced light bulbs, radio tubes, insulated flask bottles, capacitors, resistors, coils, and scales. This was only the beginning for this factory.



The sign on the right reads, “This building is out of order! You are not allowed to enter because you may DIE!” Welcome to the abandoned Polam Philips factory in Poland. “Polam” manufactured fluorescent lights, mercury lamps and electron tubes. The factory was partially modernized before renovation stopped due to a very high mercury contamination.





ENTER and DIE
