Villarlod Molasse Quarry (Fr). This is one of the last molasse quarries in Switzerland. For nearly 200 years, the Villarlod quarry (FR) has been producing molasse. Widely used in construction until the beginning of the 20th century, this stone is now mainly used for the renovation of historic buildings such as churches and castles.
