Museum retracing the history of oil in Alsace from 1498 to the closure of the last refinery in 1970, to be discovered in Merkwiller
The museum traces the history of the oil industry in Alsace from 1498 to the closure of the last refinery in 1970. What was the main activity here for 500 years is illustrated by documents, models and petroleum equipment. Discovery outings organized once a month will take you to the old mining sites, to discover the slag heaps, or to the Château Le Bel, which was the starting point for oil production in Pechelbronn. These outings are led by specialists or witnesses from the mining era.

Pour moi,c'était très intéressant.
Le film. Présenté résume bien l'historique de la conquête française du pétrole sur notre territoire
Dommage que les vestiges des ateliers et des puits ont été supprimés, ce qui retiré l'envie à venir visiter les lieux
Si il reste quelques ruines, rien n'est fait pour mettre en avant les lieux
Si on a une heure à perdre et si on veut apprendre beaucoup de choses, je conseil fortement !
