Saulnier mill, Watermill at Menier chocolate factory in Noisiel, France
The Saulnier mill features iron and brick construction with a metal frame structure, incorporating horizontal and vertical metal beams throughout its design.
Built in 1872 under architect Jules Saulnier direction, this mill introduced innovative construction techniques that influenced industrial architecture in the late 19th century.
The mill represents a significant period in French industrial development, combining mechanical innovation with architectural excellence in chocolate production methods.
Located 20 kilometers east of Paris, the mill stands on the banks of the Marne River, which provided water power for the chocolate manufacturing process.
