The only slate factory in Switzerland is located in the middle of the cozy wooden houses in Sandgasse near the church. After production ceased, the "Stiftung pro Elm" foundation acquired the property with the aim of preserving the last witness to the once flourishing slate industry for posterity. All the tools, equipment and machines needed to produce slates are still there. Slate dust, sawdust and the smell of glue have returned to the rooms. Today, the old craft is presented to interested visitors - paired with state-of-the-art museum education.
