This flour mill was built in 1682 (this date is registered). Representative of the Caen region, it is located on an tributary of the dives and is made of limestone with a rectangular shape. It also includes the Meunier accommodation. The hydraulic wheel, which has been renovated, is a side wheel with wooden wings and a metal hub. Its mechanical system is classic: on the ground floor, there are cast iron transmissions, gears and references, while on the first floor, on the floor, is the set of millstones. The whole of the equipment seems to come from the end of the 19th century.
