Following the establishment of the Courpalay cooperative in 1934, the construction of the silo was entrusted to architect Roger Gilbert and the Cogeba company. It was erected in 1937-1938 in reinforced concrete. The building comprises the silo, designed for a capacity of 12800 quintals, and a store, intended to store 2200 quintals in sacks. From the 1960s onwards, it was necessary to add to the collection of wheat, rapeseed, new cereals, then maize. A new storage store, also in reinforced concrete, is built to the right of the main building. The silo is still in operation.
