Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Mill linked to the old Chartreuse de Montmerle. It is located on a diversion canal for the waters of the Reyssouze, regulated by a dam or weir. It produced flour for bread as well as for livestock. Ceased its activity in 1970.
