Known as the property of the «Lime Kilns», the estate has a long artisanal and industrial history. It keeps a rich heritage around the four blast furnaces built in 1690 and the battery of 8 lime kilns, dating from the early nineteenth century (1810), in very good condition. We can also see beautiful industrial buildings of the nineteenth century, including a grinding mill (bluterie) with its waterfall to operate the wheel, its lime basins and buildings of the old cement factory. The blast furnaces are leaning against a hill today wooded, in reality a heap of clings, the metal residues extracted from the foundry, recognizable by their beautiful blue color.
