The Old Carpet Factory is a historical mansion located in Hydra island, Greece and a private home of music producer Stephan Colloredo-Mansfeld. It was originally built for the prominent Tsamados family in the late 18th century. It has gone through many renovations and has served as a residence, as well as previously being used as an industrial school, a factory and a painting studio. The lower part of the house is now used as a recording studio. Currently, the mansion houses both a music recording studio and art residency founded by curator Ekaterina Juskowski with the mission to preserve cultural heritage of the island.
