Mill of which we find traces from the 15th century which has had the name of Laval mill and Fauvel mill throughout its history. There were then several buildings there. The flour mill was destroyed after a fire in 1989. The sawmill, which still exists, closed in 1988 then was restored in 2016 following its inclusion in the historic monuments two years earlier. Only the transmissions are still there, the rest of the equipment having been dismantled when it closed. The adjoining house which accommodated the owners is today a gîte.
