The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1824, le maire et le curé souhaitent un transfert des édifices du culte. En 1861, l'ancien presbytère et ses dépendances sont vendus, une nouvelle église construite à la Grande Cambre. A cette époque, il ne reste au Vieux Saint-Aubert que l'ancien moulin toujours en activité, une auberge et une maison de charbonnier. Le village se présente comme une structure domaniale fossilisée, constituant ainsi une réserve archéologique.

In 1824, the mayor and the priest wish for a transfer of the religious buildings. In 1861, the old presbytery and its outbuildings are sold, a new church constructed at Grande Cambre. At this time, nothing remains at Vieux Saint-Aubert except the old mill still in operation, an inn and a charcoal-maker's house. The village presents itself as a fossilized manorial structure, thus constituting an archaeological reserve.
