Located along the banks of the Andelle River, the Levavasseur spinning mill, nicknamed the "industrial cathedral," is a 19th-century factory in the neo-Gothic style. It is the subject of a conservation project to reveal its unique history and offer the public a place for walking, contemplation, and interpretation.

"God loves every soul with an undying love. He approaches each one with repeated, unspeakably patient offers of redemption. Even a small sign of love is enough for him to forgive and redeem. Our dear departed ones lacked a life preserver for the body; but the spiritual life preserver was not lacking, the breath of God in which the soul can clothe itself in a tiny moment, much more quickly than the body could." (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

I thought that the ruins were freely accessible. They are not, but are cordoned off. Tour costs €8.50 from 1.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Right next to the lobby there is a bakery. They are used to welcoming cyclists. Everything is homemade, they are very nice. Table and chairs outside sheltered for eating. I've been there twice, never disappointed.
