From 1944 the waterworks was not in operation. During World War II, it housed a German artillery observation station and was then damaged by the bullets of an anti-tank gun. The restorations took place in 1946. Until 1953, it was owned by the village and operated as a public utility, then it became a company. The role of the water tower in water supply lasted until the 1970s, then stood empty until the early 1990s. From 1992, it hosted, among other things, the Tourinform office. In 1998, the interior was rebuilt but not externally renovated. This year, the state handed it over to the municipality.
