This former water mill was built at the end of the 18th century with stones from the castle ruins that once belonged to Anton of Burgundy. Proof of this can be found on a lintel bearing the coat of arms and motto ‘Nul ne s’y frotte’ (nobody touches it) of Anton of Burgundy. Anton of Burgundy (1421-1504) was knighted into the Order of the Golden Fleece. The typical chain of this order is also visible on the lintel around the shield.

"The Chapel of the Three Chairs" (cayelles in the local dialect) These are, on Wisques ceramics, the three seats of God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The existence of an oratory in the middle of the forest is lost in the mists of time. History even claims that the Druids held their assemblies there.

A shady spot with this chapel, I used to take a break there 20 years ago with my son. The place is always well-maintained, a tip: see it in March, it's dotted with daffodils 😉.
