The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Moulin hydraulique alimenté par le Thérain. Mentionné dès le 12e siècle, le Moulin Blond a été reconstruit au 18e siècle à la suite d'une crue dévastatrice, puis au 19e siècle, époque à laquelle il a subi de nombreuses transformations, et où plusieurs bâtiments à usage agricole lui ont été adjoints entre 1872 et 1894, lui conférant sa configuration actuelle, très représentative des fermes picardes en carré du nord du département de l'Oise. Le moulin a conservé sa roue à aubes ainsi que la plupart de ses dispositifs de meunerie (paire et meules, bluterie). L'ensemble des bâtiments construits en pan de bois et torchis a fait l'objet d'une restauration complète.

Hydraulic mill powered by the Thérain. Mentioned from the 12th century onwards, the Moulin Blond was rebuilt in the 18th century following a devastating flood, then in the 19th century, a period during which it underwent numerous transformations, and when several buildings for agricultural use were added to it between 1872 and 1894, giving it its current configuration, very representative of square Picard farms in the north of the Oise department. The mill has retained its paddle wheel as well as most of its milling devices (pair of millstones, bolter). All the buildings constructed in timber framing and daub underwent complete restoration.
