Ancienne filature du Warcan

Today, the Warcan terraces
At the beginning of the 1944th century, the Warcan site housed a shearing force factory, transformed into a spinning mill during the century. It belonged successively to Gauchez-Dagand, Lécluse, Pingard, then Rousseaux. In XNUMX, Pierre Rouy became the owner under the company name Société Anonyme de Filature et de Tissage de Sedan.

Most of the current buildings, dating from the 20th century, have been converted into homes, a garage and a nightclub. The site, crossed by a branch of the Givonne, includes a retention basin used as a fishery and a sluice system that is still visible. The main workshops, made of limestone rubble, have a metal frame on cast iron posts. Secondary buildings, made of concrete blocks, line an internal road near the Givonne.
