Discover the old forge of Roquer which is a witness of the economic dynamism of the Montseny region
The old Roquer forge, witness to the economic dynamism of the Montseny region from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, is without doubt the most emblematic element of Arbúcies' industrial heritage. Built between 1846 and 1848, taking advantage of the hydraulic power provided by the passage of a river, it was used to work copper until 1873, before being used for a whole range of other purposes: hide tanning, sawmills, bus bodyworks... It remained in use until the 1970s, when it was transferred to the heritage sector. During tours, the system is put back into operation, allowing visitors to see at a glance the ingenuity of the inventors of the hydraulic forge.
