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.

Here, the remains of the ramparts of the Lusignan castle, a medieval fortress, built at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century.

A perfect place for a break, the park is generally quite quiet.

Attention: boat HS impossible to cross!
