It was 1770 when Marquis de Bonneval found the first well-known kaolin clay on their land. Still, it wasn't until 1816 that Marquis Hippolyte de Bonneval became interested in exploiting it. He had several porcelain factories built to process the white clay into beautiful porcelain objects. On January 25, 1827, the first Bonneval porcelain was fired in one of the factory's two kilns. The Coussac-Bonneval porcelain factory was in operation between 1827 and 1836.

After this, the majestic building functioned as a sugar beet factory, potato factory, housing, and when we bought it in September 2015 it was used as a cattle farm. This characteristic building was uninhabited for more than 70 years and we are the happy new residents of this building.
