ROUND STONE WINDMILL AND HOUSE This stone windmill and house are well-preserved examples of buildings that were typically found on a seigneury. Built in 1707–1708, this circular structure is representative of the type of mill most commonly erected in New France. Tenants milled their grain here and, in return, paid a fee to the seigneur. Construction of a modest dwelling to house the miller began in 1786. Its dimensions, small number of windows, and steeply gabled roof evoke the architecture of New France. Together, these buildings form a rare grouping from the seigneurial system, which remained in place until 1854.

LE MOULIN À VENT EN PIERRE ET LA MAISON Le moulin et la maison sont des exemples bien conservés de bâtiments que l’on retrouvait sur une seigneurie. Construit en 1707-1708, ce bâtiment circulaire représente le type de moulin le plus courant en Nouvelle-France. Les censitaires y faisaient moudre leur grain et, en retour, payaient une redevance au seigneur. La modeste habitation fut bâtie à partir de 1786 pour loger le meunier. Ses dimensions, son petit nombre d’ouvertures et son toit aigu à deux versants rappellent l’architecture de la Nouvelle-France. Ces bâtiments, qui forment un ensemble d’une grande rareté, sont des témoins du régime seigneurial en vigueur jusqu’en 1854.
