La mairie

Designed by the architect Phal Blando from Auxonne, it was completed in 1850. As the commune had no church, a bell was installed, followed by a clock.

Weights weighing 40 kg drove the movement of the pendulum and the mass ensured the striking. The whole system required 120 turns a week of a large crank handle, operated by staff who carried out this task for 83 years. Today, the clock is radio-controlled.
