The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le site est occupé par des forges depuis le 16e siècle. L'ensemble des bâtiments subsiste : maison de maître, logement des ouvriers, double bâtiment des forges situé devant l'étang, bief empierré du ruisseau qui alimentait les fourneaux, ancien lavoir à minerai devenu moulin, dépendances agricoles. La maison de maître est flanquée de deux tours circulaires prises dans le gros oeuvre, et conserve des éléments décoratifs (porte du 17e siècle avec fronton interrompu sur la façade principale ; porte du 19e siècle sur la façade latérale ; lucarnes moulurées).

The site has been occupied by forges since the 16th century. The whole ensemble of buildings survives: master's house, workers' lodging, double forge building situated in front of the pond, lined channel of the stream which fed the furnaces, former ore-washing mill which became a mill, agricultural outbuildings. The master's house is flanked by two circular towers built into the masonry, and preserves decorative elements (17th-century door with interrupted pediment on the main façade; 19th-century door on the lateral façade; moulded dormers).
