The first public slaughterhouses in La Chaux-de-Fonds opened in 1841. At the turn of the century, 60 years after their construction, the city's population had quadrupled and slaughterings had increased seven-fold. The decision was therefore taken to build new slaughterhouses and Gustav Albert Uhlmann was chosen as their architect. In 1999, they stopped their activity, but recently a contemporary art center started to use some of the space.
