Laveria of Naracauli – Brassey

The Naracauli Laveria, also called the Brassey Laveria after the Mine’s owner, Englishman Lord Thomas Allnutt Brassey, came into operation in the early 1900s and was intended especially for the processing of blende materials (blende is the ore from which zinc is industrially extracted and as a by-product also cadmium, gallium and indium).

The beautiful and imposing structure, with its fine architectural details and refined style, remained active, in alternating phases, until it was closed in the late 1960s, and although it is now considerably decayed and almost a ruin, it nevertheless retains, surrounded by the surrounding nature and silence, an extraordinary charm that evokes an almost surreal dimension.
