Moulin de Vertain, Templeuve, Tower mill in Templeuve-en-Pévèle, France.

The Moulin de Vertain features a brick tower structure with rotating wooden mechanisms and large sails spanning 24 meters across the countryside.

The current mill stands on a site where Anchin Abbey owned a previous post mill in 1328, with the present structure dating from the 15th century.

This preserved mill represents traditional grain processing methods and agricultural practices that sustained local communities for generations in northern France.

Visitors can access the mill through a marked 13-kilometer trail starting at Templeuve railway station, with optimal visiting conditions from April to October.

The mill combines a brick tower exterior with internal post mill mechanics, making it the only remaining structure of this specific design worldwide.
