A little over 120 years ago, a glassworks with a grinding shop, a tavern and a school operated here. The settlement had a population of about 300 people. The three furnaces of the glassworks produced window glass, glasses, bottles and dishes. Wood ash was leached to obtain potassium - a valuable raw material for the production of paints, beer and glass. The surrounding forests provided wood, of which the glassworks used 8-9 thousand cubic meters per year.
