"This windmill, built in 1843, is of the tower type, in granite, with chestnut shingle roofing. This flour mill, equipped with transverse wings, and having two millstones, a sieve, a tarare and the capstan, still preserved, was associated at the end of the 19th century with a steam engine, auxiliary engine replaced by a new machine around 1929, the two-cylinder Nacivet Duillon model. Stopped since 1954, the mill is visited."
