The Lamour Watermill, Briastre (French: Le Moulin Lamour) is a museum and art center located in the commune. The water-powered mill and its edifices were built in 1800. Preponderantly operating the mechanical processes of milling (grinding), rolling, or hammering up until the 1930s, the watermill was converted into a museum by the Bellevals in the late 1990s.
