The town of Monthou-sur-Cher is crossed by the streams of Anguilleuses and Bavet where several mills were built. These establishments, often founded in the Middle Ages, could belong to lay lords but also to abbeys; thus, the mill of the Varenne, which depended on the abbey of Cornilly, and whose trace can be found in the acts of the abbey from 1188.
