Just 10 minutes from Montreuil-sur-Mer, an authentic 19th-century flour mill, its master house, and its numerous outbuildings. After crossing a small bridge over a stream, the Picardy mill, bordered by it, reveals itself at the end of an alley lined with meadows and stands amid green pastures. A wrought-iron gate provides access to the main courtyard. The property consists of the old mill, a neighboring master house, and vast outbuildings forming a second courtyard at the back. Opposite, a renovated pavilion opens onto the garden, which extends to the river. The current mill succeeded earlier ones that belonged to the lords of the area, who participated in the Crusades and some perished at Azincourt. Their castle, now gone, stood in the meadow across the stream, behind the mill. Only the motte castrale where it was built has survived. Likely stopped during the Revolution, the mill left traces of its activity in the 19th century, noted in the 'Pas-de-Calais Directory' of 1867 and then in a newspaper published in 1883, which featured an advertisement from the miller seeking a 'capable mill-keeper.' In 1890, the mill burned down and was rebuilt the same year. It was at this time that the current master house was constructed. In 1933, the 'modernity of the time' claimed the wheel, which was replaced by a turbine. The mill remained in operation until March 31, 2024.
