The Moulin de Mormoulins is a watermill located on the Eure River in the hamlet of Mormoulins. This mill dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries and is a listed historical monument. You can admire the old stone building, the wooden wheel, and the canal that diverts water from the river as you pass in front of the mill. The mill is surrounded by green fields and trees, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Around the 10th century, Mormoulins Castle stood in the middle of the marshes. Access from Chaudon was via a sandstone causeway, the foundations of which still exist.
The marshes filled in over the centuries, becoming the meadows bordering the current picturesque Mormoulins road.
Legend has it that one of its owners was killed in a duel the day after his wedding, and a son was born nine months later.
Another legend claims that a captain of the guards charged with defending the castle was killed along with a hundred men the day before his wedding.
