Le Vieux Moulin de Pointe-aux-trembles -- Montréal, Québec - Windmills on Waymarking.com

[FR]Ce moulin à vent, construit entre 1719-1721, est l’un des plus anciens du Québec. Il a été construit par les Sulpiciens, communément appelés les seigneurs de l’Île de Montréal, qui l’ont fait ériger par le maître maçon Deguire afin de remplacer le premier moulin qui avait été la proie de la crue des eaux. L’objectif du moulin était non seulement de moudre les grains apportés par les colons, mais aussi de servir comme forteresse en cas d’attaques.

[EN]This windmill built between 1719-1721, is one of the oldest in Quebec. It was built by the Sulpicians, commonly called the lords of the Island of Montreal, and by Master Mason Deguire to replace the first mill that had been the prey of floodwaters. The aim was not only the mill to grind grain brought by the settlers, but also to serve as a fortress in case of attack.
