This is a "four banal", the building is very small. In the Middle age, taxes called banalities are imposed on the people. They involve the use of a bread oven, wine press and mill. In addition, farmers give between 5 and 10% of their production to the Lord. Grain bags are mounted in the reserve of the furnace through a pulley.

In the washhouse street runs Coulmy stream that is a affluent of Viroin. It serves an old washhouse always operating.
