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 simply be replaced by a natural or artificially created watercourse, for example to grind grain grains into grain. There are essentially two different types of drive for water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the watercourse is guided above the wheel and falls on the blades, with this design the natural gravity gives a higher efficiency.

The abbey mill that spans the little Helpe is a beautifully renovated building from the 17th century. On the slat of the door we read the motto of Abbé Frédéric d'Yves "Adh (a) erere Deo bonum", which means "It is good to cling to God". A title from the 11th century mentions that it is an ordinary mill of the abbey, which was rebuilt under the abbey of Frédéric d'Yves and enlarged in 1634 under the reign of Dom Simon Bosquier, then adapted in 1770 at the time of Maurice d “Offergnies. Became a national property during the French Revolution, was purchased several times and finally awarded to Pierre-François Boucher on January 23, 1792.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.
