Visit Steen factory Linssen in Kerkrade
Description
Steenfabriek Linssen has been making masonry bricks for 100 years. In the early years
entirely manual and fired in field kilns, from 1917 in a ring kiln. In
1980 the tunnel kiln was put into operation. Since 1988, only
rustic hand-shaped masonry bricks have been produced by machine.
