The famous Valmy mill, which symbolizes the French victory over the Prussians at the Battle of Valmy in 1792, was destroyed on the evening of the battle itself by order of Kellermann, because it offered an ideal target for the enemy. A second mill was built and then demolished in 1831.

In anticipation of the 150th anniversary of the battle of Valmy, the mayor of the village, André Procureur, decides to reinstall a mill in Valmy thanks to a national subscription. The mill then comes from Attiches. The work, which began in 1939, was interrupted by the war and a temporary roof was installed. Work resumed after the war and the mill was inaugurated on September 20, 1947.
