The machines of La Lys spun flax, jute and hemp into yarn between 1838 and 1960. This enormous factory occupied nearly the entire island in the river Lys and extended across the water with ‘the little Lys’ in 1864. After its demolition in the 1960s, the site became overgrown and was eventually turned into a public park in 2007.
