The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce moulin, non daté, date du 16e ou du 17e siècle. De plan rectangulaire massé, il comporte un étage carré. La construction est en pierre de taille de granit, renforcée par des contreforts. La cheminée signale que le moulin contenait une pièce d'habitation. La couverture est en ardoise ; les pignons découverts et le larmier de la souche de cheminée indiquent que la couverture originelle était le chaume. L'élévation sud comporte une adjonction plus récente, à couverture en tuile mécanique. Mis à ferme, ce moulin était habité par le meunier et sa famille. Il constitue un édifice intéressant par la qualité et l'état de conservation du gros-oeuvre et par son volume général intégralement préservé.

History
This mill, undated, dates from the 16th or 17th century. Of compact rectangular plan, it comprises one square storey. Construction is in dressed granite stone, reinforced by buttresses. The chimney indicates that the mill contained a dwelling room. The roof covering is in slate; the exposed gables and the drip-moulding of the chimney stack indicate that the original roof covering was thatch. The south elevation comprises a more recent addition, with mechanical tile roof covering. Leased out as a farm, this mill was inhabited by the miller and his family. It constitutes an interesting building through the quality and state of preservation of the structural masonry and through its overall volume being entirely preserved.
