The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce moulin-tour octogonal à toiture pivotante a été construit entre 1860 et 1865. Il a cessé son activité en 1950. Il est un témoin des progrès de la mécanisation de la meunerie au 19e siècle et est doté d'un papillon d'orientation automatique des ailes au vent (système anglais inventé en 1745) et d'ailes à jalousies (au lieu d'ailes entoilées).

This octagonal tower mill with pivoting roof was constructed between 1860 and 1865. It ceased activity in 1950. It is a witness to the progress of the mechanisation of milling in the 19th century and is equipped with an automatic wing-direction fan into the wind (English system invented in 1745) and jalousie sails (instead of canvas sails).
