A forge dating from 1521, which was one of the largest wood-fired forges in France, producing cast iron in a blast furnace and refinery.

This 1521 forge owes much to the Combescot family, whose history is closely linked to that of the area. It was one of the large wood-burning forges that produced cast iron in a blast furnace and a refinery. It relied on water power and peasant labor in winter. It survived until 1930, when the blast furnace was shut down. A rich and moving tour reveals the workings and lives of the families on site.

Bonjour, A l'occasion d'une sortie le 25/08/2024 organisée par notre club de voitures anciennes " Retro Meyssac Club" nous avons eu le plaisir de visiter la Forge, bravo à l'animateur qui maîtrisait à merveille le sujet, nous avons pendant plus d'une heure avec force de ses explications eu le sentiment de revivre la vie dure du travail dans cette Forge comme si elle encore en fonctionnement.
Merci de nous avoir laissé profiter de ce bien chargé de l'histoire du passé.
Isabelle et Michel
