Contensousas Mill
The mill was built around 1860 by the Contensousas family. Once thatched, the mill operated year-round, meeting the family's flour needs. The precious grains stored in the granaries were brought down to the mill by oxback. The water released from the sluice powered the mechanism. The rye flour was used to make bread pies and the buckwheat flour for tourtous (cakes). The mill stopped operating in 1950.
