SIGHTSEEING

Maison Suisse: half-timbered house built by Swiss immigrants after the War of 30 years. Beautiful wall inscriptions. Restoration of the house with scrupulous respect of the Baroque style of the 18th century. Based on archaeological evidence (sandstone carved and painted dark gray, wood stud in blue-gray, mirrors fashioned from lime mortar, surrounded by dark edging).

Oil Mill: The oil mill is located in an outbuilding of the house dated from 1669 Swiss. The mill itself dates from the year 1837. This is a set of two wheels in Vosges sandstone of 1.50m in diameter on a pedestal itself sandstone. The wheels are powered by a horse and a clever gear system in oak. The mill was used until after the war 39/45. It produced the walnut oil, canola, and beechnuts (fruit of the beech) for local consumption. The building has been completely abandoned by the owners in the 1970s. The building fell into disrepair. In 1984, under the leadership of the Municipality, the General Counsel and some good will has created the Association for the Protection of the World with the main objective the acquisition of houses in Switzerland and its annexes including the mill oil, in order to save and restore these buildings classified as "Historic Monuments". Other initiatives and acquisitions will follow later (the forge, farm equipment, old tractors ...).
