The factory used during the war of 39-45 by the "chantiers de jeunesse" which had installed their infirmary there, suffered heavy damage following a fire in 1944, which had according to some with a stove badly installed. It had undergone large damage but it is in course of repair by the current owner.
A building completly disappeared and the roofs were remade with new. Let us recall thet it was built by German prisoners during the war 1914-18 at the same time as the fountain of Theix.
One can admire the quality of stone masonery which knew to resist the attacks of time and especially the fire.
