The mill is located on the northwest side of the municipality of Nérac, in contact with the municipalities of Lavardac and Barbaste . It made it possible to control the passages on the bridge of Barbaste, which is 20 m downstream from the highest tower of the mill. This bridge already existed in 1259 because it is mentioned in the homage Ysarn de Sainte-Marise to the Count of Toulouse for all the land he owned in Agenais.
The mill has a sturdy appearance. The central body has a square plan. It is bordered by four towers also of square plan.

Built at the end of the 13th century and functioning as a mill, the structure also served as a fortified castle during the Wars of Religion. A function to which it seems more suited when we observe its towers and its imposing presence on the Gélise.
