Unused postcard of an isolated sugar beet refinery. The main refinery complex, a tall building and its neighboring smokestacks, are visible in the distance. Several smaller buildings and storage tanks surround it. In the foreground a railway connecting to the refinery passes over a river via a rail bridge. The factory is surrounded by empty countryside and rivers.
