Moulin à vent Richard, Historical windmill in Bazoches-en-Dunois, France.
Moulin à vent Richard is a windmill in Bazoches-en-Dunois equipped with two wheels and two pairs of grinding stones. The structure demonstrates the technical knowledge that French millers developed over generations.
The mill was built in the 18th century and reflects a long tradition of grain processing in this area. It gained official protection as a registered historical monument in 1988.
The windmill reflects how grain processing shaped daily life in the surrounding farmland and fed the local community. It stands as a reminder of when such structures were central to rural survival.
The mill sits east of Châteaudun along the D132 road and is easy to spot from the main route. Visitors can walk around the site to view the structure from different angles and appreciate its details.
The current building incorporates components from several older mills that were combined over time. This assembly of parts allows the traditional French milling techniques to be preserved and displayed.
