The Bouëxière mill dates from 1471, although it has undergone many transformations over time. In 1879, it was notably converted into a flour mill.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.
