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.
