Musée de la meunerie

The mill museum showcases a working 19th-century water-powered mill with three pairs of millstones in the upper chamber and a wooden waterwheel measuring 3.33 meters in diameter.

The mill of Marcy was given to Cerisy Abbey in 1042 by William, Duke of Normandy, and operated continuously until 1952 when the last miller, Victor Pannier, ceased operations.

The museum demonstrates traditional flour milling techniques and agricultural practices through its collection of tools, machinery, and preserved farm buildings from the 19th century.

Visitors can explore the museum from Wednesday to Sunday between 2 PM and 6 PM, with adult tickets priced at 6 euros and children's tickets at 3 euros.

The water wheel, powered by the Siette stream, generates approximately 15 horsepower and continues to operate with 36 buckets installed during its 2009 renovation.
