The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le moulin à farine de Kerno date de la fin du 16e siècle. Il appartenait en 1730 au comte de Lescoët, Claude Alain Barbier. La qualité de la construction, la pierre de taille en granit, les lucarnes sculptées et les contreforts font l'intérêt de ce petit moulin, qui avait anciennement deux roues horizontales.

The flour mill of Kerno dates from the late 16th century. It belonged in 1730 to the count of Lescoët, Claude Alain Barbier. The quality of the construction, the ashlar stone in granite, the carved dormers and the buttresses are the interest of this small mill, which formerly had two horizontal wheels.
