Lou Mouli del Castel", as the elders of Montpezat used to call it, stands high on the rock to the west of the village and from which the beautiful Lot valley dominates.

Writings in the book of P. CHAPLAIS "The War of Saint SARDOS" tell us that the Capet windmill was built before 1324, but we find it dated 1870 on a stone at the entrance of the mill. Has it been demolished and rebuilt? Possibly ! Yet this old building, as the name suggests, was once the mill of the lords of Montpezat whose successive castles were demolished, except for the vital organ it represented and which shaped the survival of the inhabitants

The site of the Château where the mill is located was purchased by the municipality in February 1988 and the Capet site in 1989. In 1998, the municipality decided to restore this mill, which, after being in a state of desolation for many years and in ruins (only the barrel remained) is finally given a new life project.
