The watermill and its outbuildings, partly built on stilts in the style of a dam, are attached to the Saint-Père bridge. From 1459 to 1791, the mill belonged to the Saint-Père abbey. It is classified as a historical monument.

Hiking

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements – which on the one hand were helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature – for various purposes and thus dispense with human or animal muscle power can. Such mills are a good example of the human engineering skill of earlier generations: the heavy millstones, with which grain was ground into grain or oil pressed, for example, could be driven by the wind or - as here - by water.
