It really was interesting. And the "sheds" where they made the gunpowder were constructed in such a way that when an accident happened, the explosion would go off in a direction away from the village. Massive stone walls on the village side of the shed, and open air on the side away from the village. They had a lot of workers blown to smithereens in accidents over the years and sprayed onto the other side of stream in little bits.

I think the thing that is the coolest is that they just shut down production but maintained most of the buildings, so everything still works.
