Old mill located on the course of the Tenes river, possibly dedicated to grinding cereals planted in crops at the foot of Sant Miquel del Fai. Located between Riells del Fai and the Carretera de Bigues, it is reached via a path that descends from Sant Feliu de Codines and follows the Vall del Tenes to the confluence with the Besós.
