Description

This tide mill, intended for the production of flour, was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century on the site of a mill mentioned in 1456, located at the end and on the flank downstream of a stone dike, taken by a road. Built in granite, the mill had two external, vertical hydraulic wheels, with wooden trees and pallets, arranged in gradient. He had three pairs of grinding wheels, used respectively for rye, wheat, millet and finally for animal feed. Two of these wheels were driven by the downstream wheel. In addition to its mill function, it also served as accommodation for the miller and closed its doors around 1960.
