Pointe-du-Moulin Windmill, Stone windmill in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, Canada.
The cylindrical stone tower features a movable roof and reaches 7.5 meters in height with walls four French feet thick at the base.
Built in 1710, this structure served as both a grain mill and a defensive position with elevated platforms and gun slits throughout its walls.
The windmill represents the agricultural practices of early French settlers in Quebec and stands as one of 20 historical windmills in the province.
Following extensive restoration work completed after storm damage in 2016, visitors can now explore the fully operational internal mechanisms of the mill.
The stone structure contains original defensive elements from the colonial period, including strategically placed gun ports that were never used in combat.
