Blast furnace Barbora, Neoclassical blast furnace in Jince, Czech Republic

The blast furnace Barbora rises as a square structure divided into nine sections with a central furnace body and a rear tower for materials.

Rudolf Count Vrbna initiated the construction of this metallurgical facility in 1805, completing the project after five years at a cost of 30,000 gold.

The furnace stands as a technical monument of European significance, representing the industrial development of iron production in Central Europe during the 19th century.

Located at coordinates 49°47'18.668"N, 13°58'51.863"E, the furnace is undergoing transformation into a multifunctional space with exhibition areas and cultural event venues.

The facility produced not only molten iron but also manufactured various metal items including pipes, candlesticks, and cannonballs until its closure in 1874.
