Dating from the second half of the 12th century, the mill predates the abbey which dates from the end of the 12th century (built on the ruins of an old monastery of the 6th century). The first users of this last vestige of the feudal settlement in Daoulas, are the monks who beat hemp, flax and then wheat. The passage of men, animals, goods on the mill-bridge gives rise to the collection of duties by the monks. The base of the mill is consolidated in the fifteenth century by the stone of Kersanton. It has only one floor but is wider. In 1880, the miller decided to add a second stage and installed a mechanical system to improve production. A third floor, added in 1936, houses the machinery. In 1962, a fourth floor was built to accommodate an electric wind tunnel. The installation of pneumatic pumps allows grain extraction. The mill has, moreover, a peculiarity: it is a pirouette mill, the wheel rotating horizontally, under the building. The mill stopped completely in the early 1970s and the building was abandoned. In 1998, the town of Daoulas bought the mill to restore it and turn it into an ecomuseum.
