The Helpe Majeure crosses in Flaumont-Waudrechies an old flour mill dependent on the Hautmont Abbey, whose existence is attested since the 15th century and which was transformed into a marble sawmill in 1883 (in operation until 1990). The current visible buildings date from the 18th century and were probably built when the mill was sold by the abbey in 1745. Before 1905, the mill was purchased by the Maybon family who, instead of the mill, installed armored saws to cut the marble, using the river to provide the necessary energy. After the First World War the mill belonged to the Cordier family.

The square de la Madeleine is a square on one of the bastions of the city walls. You have a view of the steep Helpe valley.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

I was driving on this low-traffic road at the end of a beautiful spring day. The low sun shone right over the road, which made this quiet beautiful road even more beautiful.

Very nice mill, on the other hand inaccessible, private road.
