Gualeguaychú slaughterhouse was a very important building in our town. It became the first national slaughterhouse to export Argentinian meat. From 1930 to 1940 the company had its best years of operation. Around 1970, with the end of the post-war period, exportation was affected by a European policy of self-sufficiency that reduced the demand for Argentinian meats. In 1986 the slaughterhouse stopped working to finally be completely bankrupt in 1991.
The slaughterhouse imitated the way the English ones functioned. Due to this, there were several rooms apart from the ones dedicated to the animals and meat, like the cold storage rooms. There was a nursery for those children whose parents were working. As employees were educated there and had to do sports, there were areas for activities such as fencing, gymnastics, football and basketball.
Rumour has it that tragic events took place in the slaughterhouse and paranormal activity has happened at the place since then.
