The old smelting furnace in Újmassa

The smelting furnace in Újmassa was established by Frigyes Fazola in 1813. Moreover, a water reservoir was created, it was needed for the operation of the helve hammers. This reservoir was the current Hámori Lake in Lillafüred. The Hungarian word "hámor" means power hammer (or helve hammer or trip hammer), a kind of machine that was used in this case to hammer or forge the iron by using the power of the water. The word is derivated from the German word "Hammer", which means the also "hammer" in English.
