This site is of double interest:
A very old Tuilerie-Briquetterie which was already on the plans of stewardship of 1784. Archaeological research is underway to verify its existence during the creation of the Cistercian Abbey of Preuilly (fifth daughter of Citeaux) in 1118. The main remains are two clay clay kilns (a very old wood kiln the other, barely a century old, with fuel oil, replacing the first one functioned until the cessation of industrial production in 1953) a drying building before firing restored recently. Special buildings for power generation and fluids are still in place. About a hundred metres away, there are two ponds formed following the "open pit" extraction of the clay constituting the tiles and bricks.
More recently the geographical situation of this Tuilerie isolated from departmental roads on a plateau of old vineyards surrounded by woods (Forest of Preuilly), was the scene, during the Second World War, of parachute of weapons from England Marie-MarieMadeleine Fourcade, a great resistance fighter, even landed there with two of her comrades in arms to rescue the local resistance network.
