The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le moulin à vent à farine, qui n'est plus en activité, est situé à proximité du canal de la Haute-Colme. Datant du 19e siècle, la tour, en brique, de forme cylindrique, construite sur trois niveaux, est percée de fenêtres en quinconce ; elle repose sur un tertre à l'intérieur duquel on a percé une galerie pour atteindre le centre du moulin. Sa position lui vaut de servir également de point géodésique.

History
The flour mill, which is no longer in operation, is situated near the canal de la Haute-Colme. Dating from the 19th century, the tower, in brick, of cylindrical form, constructed on three levels, is pierced by windows in staggered formation; it rests on a mound inside which a gallery was pierced to reach the centre of the mill. Its position means it also serves as a geodetic point.
