Origin and history

La Hallière is an industrial monument located in the commune of Celles-sur-Plaine, in the Grand Est region. This site, whose exact period of construction or activity is not specified in the available sources, bears witness to the local technical and artisanal heritage. Sawmills have played a major economic role in forest areas such as the Vosges, transforming wood into useful resources for people and industries.

In areas such as the Great East, sawmills were often at the heart of rural economic activity, especially between the 18th and 20th centuries. They made it possible to develop abundant forest resources while creating local jobs. This type of monument illustrates the ingenuity of the communities to exploit their environment, although details specific to the mill of La Hallière remain to be documented.
