Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, while useful on the one hand, could also be a threat as a force of nature—for various purposes. A fitting example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: The heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or—as in this case—the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately, some have at least survived as testimonies to ancient times.

An abbey church, converted into a cathedral and an episcopal seat in 1317, was erected on this promontory from a monastery founded in 976. Before the drying of the Marais Poitevin, this mound was an island that one can imagine looking a little like at Mont-Saint-Michel. At its peak, the abbey shined throughout Poitou. Rabelais lived there like this for several years. The building suffered numerous destructions during wars and conflicts, it was even used as a quarry for building material after the Revolution. The remains which were able to be saved remain among the most remarkable in the Vendée department. It was estimated that the cathedral could be 105 meters long, 33 meters wide and stood at 60 meters high. Currently the ruins are only 25 meters high.
