The hammer mill with two water wheels was operated from 1889 to 1985. Equipped with a double forge, a large drop hammer and a transmission that drives all the machines by water power, the forge has been preserved in its original state. An exhibition has been set up on the upper floor, showing the family history of the owners and their working world.
