The first records/mention of the Marksburg Castle dates back to 1231. It has changed hands many times, as most castes have and is now privately owned.

In the 1970s, these old buildings housed a pioneering foundry. This was where the first all-magnesium motorbike wheels were made and later the first hollow-spoke wheels.

Finch Foundry is a 19th-century water-powered forge situated in the village of Sticklepath near Okehampton, Devon, England. It was originally used to produce agricultural and mining hand tools and at its peak produced around 400 edge tools a day. It remained an active foundry until 1960 when the roof collapsed and has been a National Trust property since 1994. It contains examples of a tilt hammer, drop hammer, and shear hammer all powered by the water wheels.
