In the show forge with public canteen and exhibition, visitors can experience forging and locksmithing up close.
In 2002, Thomas Lampert brought the old, listed and gently renovated smithy in Guarda back to life. Even there, guests could watch the craftsmen and women at work.
A lot has changed since then: New workshops have been permanently sought, existing rooms have been extended and converted and used as temporary production facilities. The blacksmith's workshop in Giarsun, a new building by Urs Padrun that was awarded a prize by "Gute Bauten Graubünden" and fits perfectly into the existing townscape, now brings together all of these temporary facilities and gives visitors an in-depth insight into this craft with fire, water, air and coal.
