History
Dovecot of the Crochepot mill, which is composed of a massive tower of approximately six metres in diameter and six metres in height, surmounted by a kind of dome of approximately two metres fifty in height. The principal opening consists of a dormer in pink sandstone, surmounted by a small moulded pediment. The roof does not comprise any roof structure, and the flat tiles are laid directly on the extrados of the dome. A wooden bell-turret rests on six small pillars ornamented with capitals of Ionic inspiration and its small dome is surmounted by a weathervane in wrought iron terminated by a dove.
