The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le moulin est attesté sur le cadastre de 1834. Après 1850, il fut équipé du système Berton permettant au meunier de régler la surface des ailes constituées de lattes de bois depuis l'intérieur du moulin. Actuellement, le mécanisme du moulin a presque totalement disparu et seule subsiste une des deux verges des ailes, désaxée et plantée au sol. £Il s'agit d'un moulin-pivot sur dés de pierre, à deux niveaux. L'escalier intérieur a disparu. L'arbre est encore muni de son rouet, dernier vestige du mécanisme.

History
The mill is attested in the 1834 cadastral survey. After 1850, it was equipped with the Berton system allowing the miller to regulate the surface of the sails made up of wooden laths from inside the mill. Currently, the mill mechanism has almost entirely disappeared and only one of the two sail beams survives, off-centre and planted in the ground. It is a pivot mill on stone piers, with two levels. The internal staircase has disappeared. The shaft is still fitted with its toothed wheel, the last vestige of the mechanism.
