The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Du 18e siècle, subsiste une partie du bâtiment en moëllons. Au 19e siècle, le moulin est modernisé par l'installation d'une turbine. Des bâtiments en brique s'ajoutent à ceux d'architecture vernaculaire. En 1964, la cessation d'activité entraîne le démantellement de l'installation.

From the 18th century, there remains part of the building in rubble stone. In the 19th century, the mill is modernised by the installation of a turbine. Buildings in brick are added to those of vernacular architecture. In 1964, the cessation of activity leads to the dismantling of the installation.
