The windmill, flour mill, of la Bigottière, would date from the third quarter of the 17th century or 1750. It is of the cavier type, on schist stone. It ceased operations in 1908. The Berton sails with which it was equipped have disappeared as well as much of the mechanisms. Its protection was obtained within the framework of a thematic campaign. It was returned to the wind in 1987, after the installation of a lantern and new sails (Berton).
