From the 5th to the 16th century in the canton of Moisdon la Rivière and on several sites around Châteaubriant, iron ore is exploited for direct production of iron in small charcoal stoves scattered in the forests covering the country. An exhibition on the history of iron mining from 1668 to 1868 is set up in the coal hall.
