[FR] Son dernier meunier fut Henri Daniel, il fit remplacer l'arbre en bois par un arbre en acier avec tête métallique et un rouet en fonte. Mais la tête de l'arbre lui posait problème pour les verges en bois. Équipé du système Berton en 1938. M. Daniel avait peint les ailes de son moulin en bleu blanc rouge durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Le moulin s'arrêta de moudre en 1946.
Le moulin a été entièrement rénové en 1995. L'arbre est exposé à l'extérieur sur le chemin de la visite.
