The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De la première moitié du 19e siècle, ce haut fourneau se rattache à une activité métallurgique attestée dès le 13e siècle dans l'usine dite du bas, où elle se poursuivit jusqu'à nos jours. Le haut fourneau occupe l'usine du haut. Remarquablement conservé, il est à parement de brique et solidement maintenu par un maillage de fer. Il appartient à une fonderie au charbon de bois connue par un plan dressé en 1837, vraisemblablement lors de l'implantation de l'établissement. Les installations comprennent le moulin et une halle de coulée à un étage, celle-ci intégrant le haut fourneau. La halle de charbon, en rez-de-chaussée, est contemporaine du moulin et de la halle de coulée.

History
Dating from the first half of the 19th century, this blast furnace is linked to metallurgical activity attested from the 13th century in the works known as the lower works, where it continued until the present day. The blast furnace occupies the upper works. Remarkably well preserved, it is faced with brick and solidly maintained by a mesh of iron. It belongs to a charcoal foundry known from a plan drawn up in 1837, probably at the time of the establishment's implementation. The installations comprise the mill and a casting hall with one storey, the latter incorporating the blast furnace. The coal shed, on the ground floor, is contemporary with the mill and the casting hall.
