The site of the brickworks is a testimony of an industrial activity that stopped in the late 1950s. This more than 5-hectare site was operated between 1860 and 1950\. In 1927, 430,000 bricks came out of this production site annually. All clay extraction, brick moulding, drying and firing activities were carried out on site.
