Watermill in Avennes... Grinds corn and generates electricity...

Hiking

The "Moulin du Vélupont" was a former possession of the Kornelimünster Abbey near Aachen from the 9th century until the Ancien Régime. During its long existence, the mill was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The current buildings are from the 19th century, recently restored and put into use as residences. The water wheel now works to generate green electricity.

A very good example of the reconversion of an old tool to meet current needs. Superb achievement 👍
