En 1822, à la suite de difficultés économiques, Adolphe Guéroult vend son domaine industriel constitué d'une filature de laine, de coton et d'une manufacture de draps établi sur le site de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Fontaine-Guérard à Radepont au baron Levavasseur. Edouard (dit Jacques) Levavasseur est un manufacturier et armateur au Havre. Il importait lui-même son coton d'Amérique sur ses propres navires pour fournir ses filatures. Il remet en état le site, le restaure et l'améliore. Il meurt le 20 mars 1842.

Neo-Gothic English factory, beginning of work in 1857 by Charles Levavasseur.
Very impressive cotton factory partially destroyed by several fires.

Definitely worth a visit for its unreal atmosphere, whether for its architecture, the water court or the shady little road.
