The Mill brought together on one site four types of production: milling, oil mill, sabotage and high iron. Today, three of them are still visible on the site.

The visit to the place is impressive, one would almost believe that the machines have stopped recently and that they are ready to start again from one moment to the next. The stacked bags are waiting to be filled and the hooves to find feet that still want them.
Visit commented by the owner of the place who maintains this heritage year after year so that it continues and testifies to the life of yesteryear.

The mill was created in 1803 by the family Bexon then a bypass channel of the stream, " The Tank ", was dug(accentuated) to pull(entail) two wheels of water stacked(superimposed) which activated millstones. A pestle(drumstick) to hemp and a féculerie (between 1848 and 1888), an oil mill were added (until 1936), a clog factory (until 1949) and a typical sawmill high - iron (until 1980). Three generations of Bexon followed one another there until 1925\. Today, the mill belongs to the family Thiriet, which assures(insures) visits on request.
