The locations of the former ironworking and blacksmithing plants are shown: the Lower and Upper foundries and the vigenjc Vice nailmaking forges, placed along artificially constructed water channels (known as ‘rake‘<\/em>) along the Kroparica stream.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Model of the Upper Foundry in Kropa<\/h3><\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Description<\/h2>\nThe model shows the production of iron for nail making in Kropa in the 19th century, when older forms of smelting furnaces – sometimes also known as ‘wolf furnaces’ – (Slovenska pe\u010d – Slovenian furnace) were replaced by larger furnaces alongside which treatment furnaces were constructed for the processing of crude iron into iron to be forged. It combined a smelting furnace (blast furnace), a water-powered hammer and two water wheels that propelled the water-powered hammer and bellows. The model was designed by the Kropa carpenter Anton A\u017eman to mark the opening of the museum in 1952.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The diorama is the work of the Viennese sculptor Ferdinand Schwarz. It depicts work in a nailmakers’ forge: male and female blacksmiths beside blacksmith’s anvil, which are arranged around a blacksmiths’ hearth. Outside the foundry there are water channels (known as ‘rake’) and a water wheel which propelled the bellows to deliver air to the blacksmiths’ hearths.<\/p>\n<\/div>
