This mill, probably built in the 17th century, belonged to the old abbey of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer. Its compact dimensions and shale materials are characteristic of this type of old mill from Haute Brittany. As the winds were deemed too low, it was equipped with a secondary gas engine. The wings with crosspieces, combined with a turning roof with a low slope, were restored following the method used from the start.
