Castle of Maillebois
Forging mills of Dampierre on Firm Blevy
Firm of the Mills located at Dampierre on Blévy whose place chief of commune is Maillebois .
Son activity was very related to the Forging mills of Dampierre, until the middle of the 16th century. Certain parts of the buildings go back to this time. The current Mill of the Mills and the Barn of the Mills were rebuilt around 1860. These buildings are integrated on a site gathering the Farm of the Mills, the Mill of the Mills and the Barn of the Mills. This unit constitutes an interesting testimony of the agro-industrial activities which existed autrefois.
La Grange of the Mill is an exceptional building by a rare work of frame for an agricultural building. Entirely realized in poplar, this frame does not require any interior support to support its cover of small tiles dating from construction, release a remarkable interior space thus. Directed East-West, its length is of 25 meters and its width of 18,40 meters. The walls are built out of bricks and flints, opened by two vast doors at each end, the western door were walled. It is possible that it was used as sheep-fold because it recalls by certain aspect the large sheep-folds of wintering which one finds in other contrées.
En 1856, the Gazetteer of the Communes and Hamlets indicates that the Farm of the Mills counted “a house, a household, thirteen inhabitants”. The mill ceases functioning a few years afterwards. Its size having been considered to be disproportionate compared to the flow of the Blaise, it was an even question of demolishing it. The various machines which were installed there and certain materials are dismounted and reinstalled with the Mill of Bored in Montreuil on the Eure. The turbine had not been dismounted. It is always places from there although out of use.
Firm of Rouvray: the name of ROUVRAY comes from Reopens (Robur) Chêne reopens into Gallic, formerly very common and today very rare. It is on this species of oak that one collected the crowned GUI of the druids. According to the conformation of the trapezoidal ditches, it would seem that it is an old Roman villa gallo. Rouvray about year 960 was true a Forteresse, whose still existing Enceinte consists of broad Fossé (infrastructure) formerly covered walls and filled with water. Old strong Castle, fortified town during the War One hundred Year old. The current buildings date from the 17th century. Only one of these old towers still remains and one sees the bases of the others. Machicolation and Tourelles defended the main doors. The Bedside of the Vault of which the Pignon and the Croisée are all that remained about it, present vast dimensions, the pilot wheels on the walls of the farm should be posterior at the 17th century.
