Already in 1610 a charter of the abbey of Saint-Sulpice in fact mention, then in 1723 at the time of the sale of the seigniory of Vouzeron “maitery and the Chartier mill”. To announce the difference of the orthographies met is the Chartier Mill or the Chertier Mill.

The river of Barangeon was, the only driving force to actuate mills and one should not be astonished to find of it ten along its course between Neuvy-sur-Barangeon and Vignoux. This mill with corn was replaced by a water turbine, its site is always visible. It was installed by the care of the Baron Roger, when he became heir, to dead of his mother, of the field of Vouzeron. The requirements out of water was considerable, it was necessary to supply the multiple bathrooms, the stables, laundries etc…, and the tank was insufficient, which brought the installation of its compressors, left of the Gandillon factories in Senlis whose only one vestige remained. This water turbine (called ram) was pulled by a paddle wheel. An underground drain led water towards the castle.

A group of dwelling houses, four or six following the time were used as housing with several families. First of all with the miller, the tile maker, their wives and children. In 1856, one counted according to the list of item of the inhabitants of Vouzeron; eighteen people. The last family left this site in 1956. Already the houses fell in ruins and the family which resided in these places moved with fur and with measurement of the outdatedness of the buildings. The foundations of these houses are always visible and the covered monticules of brambles and shrubs hide the ruins of them. This place, today is animated more only by the murmur of water and the rustle of the sheets whereas it formerly resounded of the noise familiar of a working population, plays of the children, and all this symphony which accompanies the life by the human ones.

About the XIX century old middle the Sologne became aware that its new regeneration, afterwards many years of austerity, had two major elements for a new rise; wood in superabundance since the grounds, without agricultural vocation had been retimbered and the clay which was there with profusion, under the feet. The stone is rare in the area, also to renovate the old walls in cob, or for new constructions the solution was found, the brick, the tile and the derivatives. The impulse given by the arrival of Napoleon III to Lamotte Beuvron as well as the arrival of the railroad which put the country at two hours of Paris contributed to the construction of many castles in the Sologne. Vouzeron has not escaped with this mode and baron Roger, heir to his mother to field of Vouzeron asked architect Destailleurs to build imposing it castle of Triboulette, of which it existed already tilery-brickyard with Vouzeron, since in 1851, the census of the inhabitants of Vouzeron teaches us that a tile maker remained in a place called the Chartier Mill, then in 1861 and 1872, i.e. before with the arrival of the baron Roger, this profession is already mentioned. The cadastre of the built properties which counts all constructions, demolitions or modifications on the territory of the commune makes it possible us to follow the evolution of this small local industry. Here is the short chronology:
In 1882 the baron Roger transforms a furnace with bricks, in a 1884 still transformation while specifying: for the second tilery. It is the time of the beginning of the construction of the castle. In 1890, the relay was to be
taken by the castle of Neuvy-sur-Barangeon (old Saint-Louis seminar) built for the Viscount Robert Dubourg de Bozas. The restoration and the construction of new houses on the field of the baron Roger also benefitted from this manufacture it should be specified that the rich person owner had the three quarters of the commune of Vouzeron.

Still nowadays, during repairs, it is not rare to find bricks marked VOUZERON.
What remains of this industry? A furnace made up of two entries in semicircular arch, opening on two surbased vaults in cradle, of 6 meters thirty length out of one meter fifty of width, they are built in alternation; a ventilator, a brick arcade, the whole vitrified by heat. There remain nothing higher constructions, on the other hand on the left a staircase of bricks, preserved very well, gave access to the platform of in top. This furnace was buried on three sides, a slightly tilted plan made it possible the carriages to reach it. The site of the other furnaces, near the dwellings, is revealed to us by the monticules which strew the plain.

While seeking well, of the traces could reveal us the other sites of the phases necessary to manufacture; the storage of clay, malaxation and kneading, working, then marking using a matrix. The vast hangar for the drying of bricks was on the left tunnel kilns, on this flat site which one still currently discovers. The two openings to the brick equipment, in edge of this site belonged to a network intended for the drainage which ran out for the long period
of drying.

Work of the men, work of time, work of nature, the fight is unequal, of human works it that the matter remains us that ruins. The memory is like a revenge with this combat, because the spirit is stronger.
