Pointe-Claire Windmill, Heritage windmill in Pointe-Claire, Canada
The cylindrical stone tower windmill stands 7.8 meters tall with 4-foot-thick walls and features a movable roof to align with wind directions.
Built in 1710 under the supervision of stone mason Jean Mars and Leonard Paille, the structure served as both a grain mill and watchtower.
The Ministry of Culture and Communications of Quebec designated this structure as a classified heritage immovable in 1983, marking its regional significance.
The City of Pointe-Claire allocated 967,761 dollars in January 2024 for essential renovations to maintain this historical structure.
The windmill contains two separate exit doors positioned to ensure safe evacuation regardless of the wind direction and sail positioning.
