The ovens were used to calcine or enrich iron ore. This significantly reduced the weight, making the ore easier to transport. The ovens were built in 1901 and were in use from 1903 to 1938.

These are the last stone and brick calcination kilns in Normandy. They were part of the La Ferrière-aux-Etangs iron mine, which was in operation until 1938.

Interesting castle ruin with a very good view. Ideal for a small picnic. The castle was built by Henry I, King of England from 1100 to 1135.
