The power station for an old gunpowder factory.

Of the 100 buildings existing while there was gunpowder production between 1882 and 1978, the old power station, in poor shape, but still standing.

The workforce in the gunpowder factory consisted of between 16 and 50 workers, the production entailed a great risk of explosion and a total of 17 people were killed in accidents at the factory.

The production during winter was rather cold since it was no source of heating in the factory due to the risk of explosion.
The biggest accident occurred on May 7, 1919, when 7 people died.
The last accident on the 30th of December 1976 claimed 2 lives.

There’s a barrel left for display at the sight which contained explosives, which is totally torn when it exploded in one of the accidents.
The barrel was made of solid steel, with a thickness of 10mm, so the blast was powerful.
It can also be seen by the leftovers of the powerhouse, which was ruined by the explosives.
