The vocation of this mill was intended(designed) to repair other mills of the region. The wheel, which turns(shoots) thanks to the current of an arm of the Indre, allows to run the machines which date the beginning of last century and that are very in a fit state of walking(step). The wheel is under way of restoration(catering) thanks to the volunteers of the association A2MBEAULIEU, created in June, 2016\. The mill ceased working at the end of the eighties and was left to the municipality in 2008 by the girl of the last mechanic.
