History[]

The flour mill was established in 1921 near the Deûle River. It was built in a Flemish Revival style by architect Vuagnaux.^[1]^[2]^[3] In 1928, the company purchased the site and used it until 1989,^[1] when it fell into disuse. During the peak activity period, the site had around 400 employees.^[3]

The flour mill was listed as an official Historical Monument on May 30, 2001.^[1] In the 2010s, it was part of a series of renovations overseen by the European Metropolis of Lille.^[2] The facility will be transformed into housings by 2021 or 2022.^[4]
