The forge of Nods, still in use today, is full of secrets and objects forged over two centuries.
A few anecdotes and a smell of coal, this is what awaits the visitor who ventures to the forge of Nods. Dating from 1876, as the inscription on the lintel indicates, this forge is a historical treasure. The current building still houses many machines dating from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, including a spring hammer. Horseshoes, pliers, chains; the main room of the forge houses many objects hanging on the walls. Three generations of blacksmiths, seven in all, have lived in the forge, which has been reborn today thanks to master mechanic Vincent Pierre-Emil Blum.
