Un peu d'histoire du bâtiment.
Encore exploité après la suppression de l'abbaye, le moulin-boulangerie a été réaménagé partiellement en hôtel-restaurant suite à un incendie en 1858. Seule l'aile sud a encore servi de moulin.
L’hôtel a été agrandi en 1897, mais n'ont pas touché l'aile méridional qui est restée inoccupée pendant plus d'un siècle. Il a été à nouveau incendié en 1953. Les deux niveaux supérieurs de la façade résultent de ces transformations et restaurations successives.
Le restaurant café actuel se cantonne dans les caves voûtées de l'ancien moulin datant du 13ème siècle. Un espace visiteur a été aménagé dans l'aile Sud.

A bit of history of the building.
Still exploited after the abbey was removed, the mill-bakery was partly converted into a hotel-restaurant following a fire in 1858. Only the south wing still served as a mill.
The hotel was enlarged in 1897, but did not touch the southern wing which remained unoccupied for more than a century. It was burned again in 1953. The two upper levels of the facade result from these successive transformations and restorations.
The current café restaurant is confined to the vaulted cellars of the former 13th century mill. A visitor space has been set up in the South Wing.
