The sheeter Deflandre

On June 13, 1564, the Provost of St-Jean Servais yields to Nollen, Gerard de Fléron, Hodeige of Jacques and Francois Campana, a drink of water to take in the Ourthe between the hammer recently erected by the lord and Colonster Sauheid mill. The partners will build up a stove turned thereafter slitting, a hammer and then two refineries.
In 1769, the plant becomes the property of Donnéa Andre Renier, whose family already owns the slitting of Sauheid.
In 1868, the plant is sold to Jacques Remacle and Gerard Leonard, they adjust a set of plate mill and two warming ovens.
In 1890, Pierre Joseph Deflandre becomes the owner and the plant then remains in the family Deflandre until its closure in 1978.

The sheeter Colonster

It was installed on the left bank of the Ourthe beside a very old mill-race, already known by the hammer when the permission to create the first hammer of modern times in the Valley Ourthe granted July 3, 1530 by the Provost at St. John Thomas Fosse and Jean Geurts.
Having belonged to Wathieu Godefrin and Bertholet stevarti, two blacksmiths, a plant whose slitting replaced the furnace, is successively operated without much success, by various partners to achieve in 1751, Joseph Conrad and then Grisard his son.
In 1860, Hubert Raikem owns the property has two furnaces and two rolling mills.
The plant continues to operate in 1946.

The Rolling Mills of Ourthe

Four institutions were originally mills of Ourthe: Sauheid the slitting of the Maka Walthéry the first furnace Sauheid and the second furnace Sauheid.
The slitting of Sauheid was created following By granting, May 28, 1659, a water intake Paulus Grandchamps Chênée to build a factory. In 1861, it becomes property of the Company limited by shares Francotte, Pirlot and Co. to merge in 1876 in SA rolling mill of Ourthe.
The Maka Walthéry was born of a flour mill built in 1540 and which is one of the wheels, from 1563, move the bellows of a furnace. Barbara Rigaut, the miller's daughter, who married John Grisard, owner of the slitting of Sauheid, the mill was soon transformed into maka. Owned by the family Walthéry from 1736, maka become in 1876 the SA rolling mill of the Ourthe. The company will continue to grow, but overtaken by progress, it will be dissolved December 31, 1964.
The first furnace Sauheid, designed to feed a slitting is erected by the industrialist Wathieu Godefrin in 1562. In the following century, the business falling off and the furnace is changed before 1638, in mill gunpowder, despite the unanimous opposition of neighbors. In 1750, the buildings are in ruins again by Walthéry who convert their second Maka.
The second furnace Sauheid was located upstream from previous. Wathieu Godefrin became owner in 1579 for some time because he gave it to Gilbert Fronville. Several operators have succeeded in following the stove but in poor condition, was

  • Le Laminoir Deflandre

    Le 13 juin 1564, le Prévôt de St-Jean cède à Servais Nollens, Gérard de Fléron, Jacques de Hodeige et François Campana, un coup d'eau à prendre dans l'Ourthe entre le marteau nouvellement érigé par le seigneur de Colonster et le moulin de Sauheid. Les associés y édifient un fourneau transformé par la suite en fenderie, un marteau et ensuite deux affineries.
    En 1769, l'usine devient la propriété de Renier André Donnéa, dont la famille détient déjà la fenderie de Sauheid.
    En 1868, l'usine est vendue à Jacques Remacle et Léonard Gérard, ceux-ci aménagent un train de laminoir à tôles et deux fours à réchauffer.
    En 1890, Pierre Joseph Deflandre devient propriétaire et l'usine demeure alors dans la famille Deflandre jusqu'à sa fermeture en 1978.
  • Le Laminoir de Colonster

    Il était installé sur la rive gauche de l'Ourthe au bord d'un biez très ancien, déjà appelé  by des marteaux lorsque l'autorisation de créer le premier marteau des temps modernes dans la vallée de l'Ourthe est accordée le 3 juillet 1530 par le Prévôt St.-Jean à Thomas de Fosse et Jean Geurt.
    Après avoir appartenu à Wathieu Godefrin et à Bertholet Stevart, deux maîtres de forges, l'usine dont une fenderie a remplacé le fourneau, est successivement exploitée, sans grand succès, par différents associés pour aboutir en 1751, à Conrard Joseph Grisard et ensuite à ses fils.
    En 1860, Hubert Raikem est propriétaire de l'établissement qui comprend deux fours et deux laminoirs.
    L'usine cesse de fonctionner en 1946.
