Description

We haven’t found yet its date of creation in the archives. Its consists of three ponds. In the first, farmers, coming to work in the vineyard, put their drinks cool, it aslo served of watering place for horses and the two others were laundries. Near, it was a lignite mine, in activity from 1540 to 1940. It is no longer accessible nowadays.
