The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le moulin domine le village. Il est du type moulin-tour (seule la toiture portant l'arbre et les ailes virent au vent) ; la toiture conique et les ailes sont en bois. Le mécanisme est en grande partie conservé. Il a été restauré au début des années 1970 (toitures coniques en planches et ailes refaites).

History
The mill dominates the village. It is of the tower mill type (only the roof bearing the shaft and the sails turns with the wind); the conical roof and sails are made of wood. The mechanism is largely preserved. It was restored in the early 1970s (conical roofs in planks and sails remade).
