In 1577, Henri le Clercq built a powder mill on the banks of the Ton in the lower town of Virton, which became a sawmill a hundred years later. In 1797, the buildings were redeveloped by the new owners, a fact clearly reflected in the first land registry of the town of Virton, dated 1850. In 1875, the sawmill was converted into a bark mill and tannery. In 1928, these buildings were purchased by Jean Naisse. He modernized the equipment to operate a sawmill that remained in operation until 1970. The small building to the east has preserved its mill and waterwheel from the early 19th century. The large western building houses the old tannery. It is recognizable by the nine rectangular openings that were necessary for drying the hides. In 1930, a traditional living area of the same size was added to form the current building. All buildings and the surrounding area have been listed as historic monuments since November 9, 1990.
