Moulin à vent de Verchères - Verchère Windmill - Verchères, Québec - Windmills on Waymarking.com

«Le moulin à vent de Verchères est un moulin banal construit avant 1737. Il est constitué d'une tour cylindrique en pierre de trois étages, chapeautée d'un toit conique. Il s'élève à côté de l'impressionnante statue de bronze de Madeleine de Verchères, aux abords du fleuve Saint-Laurent, dans la municipalité de Verchères.

En 1991, d'importants travaux de restauration lui redonnent son apparence originale, à l'exception des ailes et du mécanisme interne. La Ville de Verchères en est toujours propriétaire et l'utilise, pendant la saison estivale, comme galerie d'exposition.

Translated from the above noted text:

"The Verchères windmill is a common mill built before 1737. It consists of a three-storey stone cylindrical tower with a conical roof. It stands next to the impressive bronze statue of Madeleine de Verchères, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, in the municipality of Verchères.

In 1991, major restoration work restored its original appearance, with the exception of the wings and the internal mechanism. The City of Verchères is still the owner and uses it, during the summer season, as an exhibition gallery.
