Le Haycot was originally a former dairy founded by the Amish. An offshoot of the Anabaptist movement, the Amish community was founded in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in 1693. It advocates a communal, frugal lifestyle, secluded from society. In accordance with their religious doctrine, the Amish settled on the heights of the Val d?Argent to develop mountain agriculture. Expelled in 1712, the Amish found refuge in Pennsylvania. Their farms were taken over by farmers from neighboring valleys, and gradually became farm inns, with the rise of mountain tourism from the late 19th century onwards.
