Historique
Le moulin est cité dans une charte du 13e siècle. Reconstruit au 15e, puis devenu habitation, la roue et le mécanisme ont disparu. Deux corps de bâtiment sont disposés perpendiculairement, la façade sud de l'un étant accompagnée d'une tour polygonale contenant une vis en pierre. A l'est, grange du 15e siècle. Dans le jardin se trouve une fontaine qui avait pour réputation de guérir les rhumatismes.

History
The mill is cited in a charter of the 13th century. Rebuilt in the 15th, then having become a dwelling, the wheel and mechanism have disappeared. Two building blocks are arranged perpendicularly, the south façade of one being accompanied by a polygonal tower containing a stone spiral stair. To the east, barn of the 15th century. In the garden is a fountain which had the reputation of curing rheumatism.
