Moulin de la Galette, Historic windmill in Montmartre, Paris, France
The Moulin de la Galette stands at 77 rue Lepic in the 18th arrondissement, featuring its original wooden structure and mechanical components from 1622.
During the 1814 siege of Paris, Russian soldiers killed the owner's son and mounted his body on the windmill's sails as a display of force.
The windmill gained recognition through numerous paintings by Renoir, who depicted the social gatherings and entertainment events held at this location.
The structure now operates as a restaurant where visitors can experience French cuisine while surrounded by historical milling equipment and period decorations.
In 1880, the owners installed a telescope observatory allowing visitors to view Paris through magnified lenses from the elevated Montmartre position.
