The Hottinguer wells and their Malakoff-type tower made it possible to extract coal at a depth of 618 meters. They are among the deepest wells in France. The traction system, an atmospheric tube, required high surface installations, hence the tower. In 1910, the addition of a power station supplied villages with electricity as far as Autiun and the Côte de Beaune.

This is an old winding tower of a coal mine which was used to extract coal from a depth of 550 m using a revolutionary process in 1872. It later became a coal-fired power station.

As you drive past, you wonder what it used to be and are then amazed at the history of the building. Very interesting...
