Un des rares moulins à vent du 18ème siècle qui a résisté au temps. On y moud encore de la farine et on peut en acheter dans la boutique au rez de chaussée. Il y a même des boulangeries locales qui s’approvisionnent en farine ici. Les bénévoles sont super sympas et nous ont guidé à travers les différents étages du moulin. Je recommande pour les gens qui veulent faire une petite visite d’un patrimoine historique local et acheter un souvenir assez original!
