Only 10 minutes from Montreuil-sur-Mer, an authentic, 19th-century flour mill, with a manor house and many outbuildings. This Picardy mill, standing in green pastureland, emerges into sight after crossing a small bridge over the waterway running past the edifice and heading up a drive bordered by meadows. The main courtyard can be reached through a wrought-iron gate. The property is made up of the former mill building, an adjoining manor house, as well as extensive outbuildings that form a second courtyard to the rear. A renovated pavilion standing opposite opens onto the garden which stretches down to the river.
The current mill was preceded by other older ones, which belonged to the lords of the realm, who took part in the crusades and, for some of them, perished at the battle of Agincourt. Their castle, which has since disappeared, was located in the meadows on the other side of the mill race, behind the mill building. All that remains of it is the castle mound where it was built.
Though the mill was probably out of use during the French Revolution, there are traces of its activity during the 19th century, as recounted in the “Annuaire du Pas-de-Calais” directory dated 1867, then in a newspaper published in 1883, in which the miller posted an advert for an “able mill caretaker”. In 1890, the mill burned down but was rebuilt that same year. The current manor house dates from that time. In 1933, the technological advances of the time saw the water wheel replaced by a turbine. The mill remained in activity until 31st March 2024.
