Molino Stucky - Free Audio Guide

Molino Stucky is a landmark industrial complex on the island of Giudecca in Venice, originally built in the late 19th century for flour milling by entrepreneur Giovanni Stucky. Its distinctive red‑brick, neo‑Gothic architecture and tall tower became symbols of Venice’s industrial era and contribute to the city’s skyline. After a period of decline the complex was restored and adapted for modern uses, including a hotel, event and dining spaces, while preserving its exterior character. Key attractions are the building’s architecture, its industrial heritage, panoramic views over the lagoon from upper levels, and periodic cultural events held on site. Public access varies by area: some parts are open to visitors and others operate as private hotel facilities; any access arrangements and charges differ by area and season. The site is valued for industrial heritage, urban regeneration and its cultural role in contemporary Venice.
