A 15th century wooden pivot windmill, mounted on a stone base, in perfect working order.
In the Beauce plain, this windmill has a very solid stone base which has supported it for 500 years. Wings with a span of 18 meters, weighing a total of 40 tonnes which rotate on a pivot called the Bourdon. Under the leadership of the monks of the priory, Etienne Bourgevin, merchant and farmer, ordered the construction of the mill in 1477. For 500 years it did not stop turning.
