    Casino Pond

    The pond was created in the 19th century by the mining company “Vieille-Montagne”. It served as a water reservoir for washing zinc ore. The accumulated residues that lay on the dike of the Casino pond come from the deposits from washing the ore. This is where specific plants have settled, such as the calamine pansy, which only grows on soils containing heavy metals.
    The name “Weiher” is most likely inspired by the Casino company. Around 1860, a new building was built on what is now Rue du Casino, a club that welcomed employees of the “Vieille-Montage” company. After the pond was enlarged, a jetty for rowing boats was built here as well as public baths, intended for casino customers, on the shore of the lake.
