Moulin de la Tour, Historical windmill in Ivry-sur-Seine, France.

The Moulin de la Tour stands 35 meters tall with decreasing floor sizes, constructed from stone blocks in medieval architectural style.

Built in 1380 for the lordship of Ivry and Saint-Frambourg, the windmill operated until the early 19th century before becoming a storage facility.

The structure represents the last remaining windmill in Val-de-Marne department, illustrating the regional grain processing methods of past centuries.

Visitors can explore the mill every third Saturday of the month, accessing the site from Pierre Curie or Porte d'Ivry metro stations.

In 1976, engineers moved the entire structure 35 meters using hydraulic jacks and railway tracks to preserve it from demolition.
