The Mill brought together on one site four types of production: milling, oil mill, sabotage and high iron. Today, three of them are still visible on the site.

The visit to the place is impressive, one would almost believe that the machines have stopped recently and that they are ready to start again from one moment to the next. The stacked bags are waiting to be filled and the hooves to find feet that still want them.
Visit commented by the owner of the place who maintains this heritage year after year so that it continues and testifies to the life of yesteryear.
