Moulin de Keriolet

Moulin de Keriolet is a watermill with a large paddle wheel driven by a stream flowing among granite blocks, moss, and ferns. The three-story granite structure uses this water power to turn millstones for processing grain.

The mill was built in 1868 and operated until 1958, with modifications made in 1878 to improve water power efficiency. These changes show how millers adapted their equipment to meet changing needs.

The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing that visitors can watch as water turns the wheel and drives the stones. It offers a sense of how people once handled everyday food production in this region.

The site can be explored during the summer season daily and on weekends through the rest of the year, with guided tours explaining how milling works. Visiting when water flow is strong lets you see the wheel and stones in action.

The mill produces between 200 and 300 kilograms of buckwheat and wheat flour monthly using restored traditional stone grinding methods. This flour is made with techniques millers used at this site for generations.
