Although agriculture is the basis of the economy of the area, the Municipality of Cerovlje is also very proud of its long tradition of brick production. As evidence of this fact, there are several preserved roof tiles with an imprinted year 1803 and 1823, which tells us the date of production. They were found in Borut, where,in 1908, an Austrian entrepreneur, Jakob Ludvig Münz, built a round kiln, a chimney and an engine room with strainers to form brick.
