Moulin de Valmy, Historical windmill in Valmy, France
The Moulin de Valmy represents traditional French milling architecture with its wooden structure, rotating cap, and four large canvas sails mounted on wooden frames.
During the Battle of Valmy in 1792, General Kellermann ordered the original windmill to be burned to prevent Prussian forces from using it as an artillery target.
The windmill serves as a symbol of French resistance and victory, commemorating the crucial Battle of Valmy during the French Revolutionary Wars.
Visitors can access the windmill site at 21 Rue Kellermann in Valmy, where informational panels explain the milling processes and historical significance.
The current structure incorporates parts from a windmill originally located in Attiches, which was carefully dismantled and reconstructed at this location between 1939 and 1947.
