The buildings, constructed in the early 17th century near Place Ducale, were converted into a brewery in the early 20th century by Henri Masse, who served as master brewer until 1936. At that time, the premises housed a beer warehouse for the Coq Ardennais brewery. A workshop was added to the courtyard in the early 20th century. By the 1960s, operations appear to have been limited to the warehouse, and the site is a

After the Liberation, the site was converted into a scrap metal yard by Mr Chotin, then taken over in 1980 by the heating company Cophignon, which still occupies the premises. The buildings appear to date from the late 19th or early 20th century. The building at
