The region around Xhendelesse and Herve is famous for its historic nail workshops, small forges where nailmakers cut and hammered nails using square rods produced by nearby slitting mills. In the 17th century, nails produced in the vicinity of Herve were frequently used by the Dutch East India Company in the construction of ships.
