In 1836, construction began in the village of Šindelová on the largest ironworks in the region.
Once completed, the site included a blast furnace, three large forge hammers, a tin-plating plant, foundry, rolling mill and core shop. It was powered by three water wheels and the second-largest steam engine in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Two world patents were also used here: tin plating, later galvanising, and continuous engraving.
The remains of the blast furnace and former ironworks on the edge of Šindelová are a technical cultural monument.
