Filature Lion

The spinning mill has been mentioned since at least 1846, when it belonged to Letang-Vannaise. Until the end of the 1906th century, the buildings were built high up, typical of the early days of mechanized spinning. Later, these structures were replaced by workshops on the ground floor. Two dates inscribed on the buildings bear witness to the reconstructions: 1908 and 1943. In XNUMX, the factory still employed around a hundred people. Today, the remaining buildings house a transport company, an agricultural shed and municipal warehouses.

The main structures are built of limestone, with rubble and cut stone for the quoins and frames. The early 20th century buildings incorporate brick for the frames, partition walls and a gable wall in half-iron. The chimney, with a square plan, is also made of brick. The roofs are gable or shed, covered with mechanical tiles. The dwelling has a broken pavilion roof, covered with slate, while the caretaker's lodge has a pavilion roof.
