Grand Fayt Mill
Highlight • Monument
There are essentially two different types of drive for water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the watercourse is guided above the wheel and falls on the blades, with this design the natural gravity gives a higher efficiency.

Cartignies
Highlight • Other
The village also has about forty chapels made of blue stone. These demarcate the Avesnois and Thiéerache and are spread along roads and paths, in forests or in wall niches. They were built to ask a favor, to thank heaven for something or to confirm a social position. They have existed since 1550. The chapel often consists of a narrow shaft surmounted by a beautifully fenced niche and a larger crown piece. There used to be polychrome wooden statues in the niches.
