WOOL, FULLING MILL, LODEN
\nCommunity Event<\/p>\n

Saturday, September 20th,
\nParadu\u00e7a (Calde, Viseu)<\/p>\n

An initiative of the Paradu\u00e7a Social, Cultural, Sports, and Recreational Association in collaboration with the Calde Civil Parish Council, the Municipality of Viseu, and Binaural Nodar, this event was part of the Rede Tramontana cultural program, co-financed by Creative Europe, and an official initiative of the 2025 European Heritage Days.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the Paradu\u00e7a Social, Cultural, Sports, and Recreational Association restored a building of high heritage: a fulling mill by the Vouga River, once used to make \u201cburel\u201d (loden), a traditional waterproof wool fabric. Leading up to the event, several community activities took place, including collections on the role of wool and burel and on the history of the pis\u00e3o, a sound tour, and interpretive visits to other architectural elements of the village, such as the Blacksmith\u2019s Workshop.<\/p>\n

The event \u201cWool, Fulling Mill, Loden\u201d marked the culmination of this work, featuring guided village walks, an interpretive tour of the fulling mill, an audiovisual installation, a local fabric exhibition, and a communal meal.<\/p>\n
