Built in the 13th century by the Benedictine monks of the Saint-Thibéry monastery, the watermill for grain with its mighty walls withstood all the floods of the Hérault for 750 years.

Very large old mill on the Herault, which unfortunately cannot be visited. Impressive group of buildings.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.
