he forges and furnaces of Givonne, dating from the 16ᵉ century, were the main facilities of the Principality of Sedan, operated by the Goffin d'Haraucourt and then Lembermont families. At the time of the Revolution, they included two refinery fires, two hammers and a swift. In the 19ᵉ century, they passed into the hands of Thomas, Lamotte-Pirotte, then Desrousseaux-Noizet. Today, only the shop, the dwelling and an early 19ᵉ century coal shed remain. The buildings that have disappeared include the forge, the blast furnace hall (1837), and the workshops, with the exception of the dam. The building is of limestone rubble with ashlar surrounds, while exposed timber framing characterises the coal hall.
