The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Petit moulin à farine, vraisemblablement du 18e siècle, attesté en 1833 et alors équipé de deux roues hydrauliques mettant en mouvement trois paires de meules, l'une pour le froment, l'autre pour le sarrasin, la troisième pour l'orge et l'avoine. Il dispose d'une roue hydraulique externe entièrement en bois, à augets fermés, et la place de la deuxième roue en amont est identifiable. Les mécanismes de meunerie, aussi en bois, ne sont pas datés. Après la dernière guerre, le moulin a poursuivi la mouture des céréales secondaires et cessé toute activité vers 1967.

Small flour mill, probably from the 18th century, attested in 1833 and then equipped with two water wheels setting three pairs of millstones in motion, one for wheat, another for buckwheat, the third for barley and oats. It has an external water wheel entirely of wood, with closed buckets, and the position of the second wheel upstream is identifiable. The milling mechanisms, also in wood, are not dated. After the last war, the mill continued grinding secondary cereals and ceased all activity around 1967.
