Moulin de Bar-sur-Seine

The timber-framed mill spans five levels above the Seine River, supported by a stone bridge with four low arches spanning the water.

Dating from the 11th century, the current structure was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and operated as a flour mill until operations ceased in 1925.

The mill represents the industrial heritage of the Aube department, selected for preservation through the national Loto du Patrimoine initiative in 2019.

The hydroelectric facility, renovated in 2010 with four turbines, generates electricity that contributes to the ongoing restoration funding through sales to EDF.

The structure stands as the final remaining example of large-scale timber-framed mills that once populated this section of the Seine River.
