The factory was founded in 1827 by the mining councillor Johann Ludwig Carl Zincken. The name Carlswerk, which was used when the company was founded, also goes back to him. The oldest surviving building is a rolling mill made of basalt slate using dry stone walling. In the period around 1840, a forge was built as a half-timbered building with a lean-to roof. Access to the forge was from the north-facing side of the street. Some of the original furnishings, such as the stove and forge, are still preserved.
In the middle of the 19th century, it was converted into a machine factory. A brick building in the round-arch style was built. The gable is staggered. On the upper floor there are coupled windows with iron columns in the middle. The facades are structured by pilaster strips and cornices. Parts of the original furnishings, including historical machines, have also been preserved in this building. The monument also includes a forged neo-Gothic property border.

A guided tour of the accessible technical monument "Carlswerk" can be booked after registering at the Harzgerode city information office in accordance with the fee schedule.
The Carlswerk is located directly on the national Selketalstieg hiking trail, and the Mägdesprung train station on the Selketalbahn is a 5-minute walk away.
The machinery on the ground floor is still in its original state from the last day of production. Mechanical processing machines from the first half of the 20th century and a wooden crane from 1890, along with lockers, workbenches and holiday cards from the workforce, illustrate the work culture of a period in an authentic atmosphere.
A saw frame that was manufactured in this machine factory around 1920 and worked in Stiege until 1998 was saved from being scrapped in 2010.

Today it is set up as a display object on the ground floor. Documentation boards on the upper floor and the exhibition provide an overview of the development and the industrial historical significance of the location. One section shows examples of the production of ovens and gas appliances.
The last phase of production was dominated by gas and heating equipment manufacturing.
