A graduation tower was built here as early as 1620. A graduation tower is a plant for salt extraction. It consists of a wooden frame that is filled with bundles of brushwood (mainly black thorn). The salinity in the water is increased by passing brine through the brushwood, whereby water evaporates naturally. In 1944 the last graduation tower was badly damaged by lightning. Finally it was demolished in 1970. A new graduation tower was built in the garden of the Salt Museum to show how it works.
