Wells

Wells, constructed of local granite and schist, have a vaulted style typical of the region.

See other examples at Vieux St-Aubert. (GR36)

Lime-kilns

These 17th century lime kilns are what remains of an industry which lasted into the 19th century. Calcium carbonate was transformed into lime by the action of heat, then mixed with river sand and used for pointing walls. The lime was also used as a soil improver. However the increasing use of chemical fertilisers and of cement in building led to their abandon.

Others lime-kilns in Habloville, Ste-Croix sur Orne, Bazoches au Houlme and les Rotours.
