Moulin de Crémeur

The Crémeur Mill, constructed with granite walls and chestnut wood shingles, stands 6 meters tall and displays three decorative moldings on its cantilever support.

Dating from the late 15th century, the mill belonged to the Crémeur seigneury under Tristan de Carné, who received appointment as captain of Guérande in 1513.

Local residents refer to this monument as the Devil's Mill, stemming from a regional tale about a pact between the miller and the devil.

The mill ceased operations in the 18th century and no longer contains its internal mechanisms, yet its structure remains solid following restoration work in the 1980s.

A window niche contains a Virgin and Child statue, which plays a central role in the legend of how the miller escaped his demonic agreement.
