Les forges de Drambon

In the 19th century, two forges and a blast furnace employed more than 800 people in Drambon.

In 1600, the village was already supplying cannons and cannonballs for the royal armies. By 1802, the factory was producing 600 tonnes of cast iron and 400 tonnes of iron. Production ceased in 1881.

Today, nothing remains of the factory. Only the canal and a few details of the facades still bear witness to the industry of yesteryear.
