Historique
Cet ancien moulin à huile intercommunal aurait été l'un des plus importants du village ; la grange qui l'abrite est datée de 1764. Il y subsiste un pressoir à noix à meules, à traction animale, ainsi qu'un monumental pressoir à huile entièrement en bois, à traction manuelle, probablement antérieur au 18e siècle. Un pressoir à cidre et a vin complète ces installations. La production d'huiles de noix, noisettes, colza, orge perlée, ... s'est poursuivie jusqu'en 1939.

History
This former intercommunal oil mill is believed to have been one of the most important in the village; the barn which houses it is dated to 1764. There remain a walnut press with stone wheels, animal-powered, and a monumental oil press entirely of wood, manually operated, probably earlier than the 18th century. A cider and wine press completes these installations. The production of walnut, hazelnut, rapeseed, pearlbarley oils, etc. continued until 1939.
