Ancien moulin à farine

Currently the Prix les Mézières color mill and private properties
A flour mill, built in 1517 by the local priory dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Hubert, evolved over the centuries. In 1603, a copper battery was installed, taken over by Parisian merchants. In 1702, the mill was rented to the Manufacture d'armes de Charleville, and a tan mill (d'En-Haut) was built nearby. Having become a National Property during the Revolution, the site was transformed into a platinum mill for the Manufacture. In 1832, Lelorain bought the En-Bas and Milieu mills, rebuilt the latter in 1834, but went bankrupt in 1847. In 1861, Honoré-Victor Colin converted them into a paint mill. The Grand Moulin ceased its activities during the First World War, and the Milieu mill closed in 1955.

The Grand Moulin, made of cut stone on the street side and rubble for the other facades, had a water wheel and a pavilion roof. The Moulin du Milieu, equipped with three pairs of millstones and silos, has a partially redone broken-slope roof.
