The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Daté du 15e siècle, le petit moulin à farine du manoir de Lesvern est considéré comme un des plus anciens de Bretagne. Il se distingue par la qualité de ses matériaux et de leur mise en oeuvre, en granit, en gros et moyen appareil et couvert d'ardoises. Il était antérieurement couvert en chaume et les cheminées prouvent qu'il était habité par le meunier et sa famille. Transformé en résidence secondaire, ses mécanismes ont disparu.

History
Dated to the 15th century, the small flour mill of the manor of Lesvern is considered one of the oldest in Brittany. It is distinguished by the quality of its materials and their workmanship, in granite, with large and medium coursing and covered with slate. It was previously covered with thatch and the chimneys prove that it was inhabited by the miller and his family. Transformed into a second home, its mechanisms have disappeared.
