The first known mention of the site is an act of purchase, in 1590, by the chapter of Saint-Dié of a flour mill belonging to Jacques-Henry Finance. Having become commonplace, it is regularly rented out. It was the subject of a reconstruction in 1712 and then has two wheels in the same channel for a casement (hemp pestle?) as well as an oil mill. Confiscated during the Revolution, it became private property and was rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century. It then only has a single wheel, a pair of wheels with hemp pestle and oil mill.

In 1928, an annex housing a sorter and a grain flattener is built. In 1929, an electric motor is installed, and from the 1960s, the hydraulic supply is gradually
