The old ironworks in Adamów in the Czech Republic is now an open-air museum and museum devoted to the history of metallurgy in this town, but also in the region. The site for such an open-air museum was chosen very well, because the history of iron ore processing in Adamów and its vicinity dates back to the early Middle Ages, and it is quite well confirmed in sources from the 11th-12th centuries. At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, a modern, for those times, forge was established in Adamów, and in 1746 a metallurgical furnace with its own name "Franciszek" began its work. At that time, charcoal supplied by the surrounding forests was used for burning. In the middle of the 19th century, Adamów supplied about 7-8% of the total pig iron production in the Moravian region. However, as early as 1877, the center and the furnace were shut down. Metallurgical production was never resumed here, and in 1971 the Adamów was declared a "technology reserve", i.e. a de facto open-air museum. Currently, the facility is managed by the Technical Museum in Brno.
