Moulin Tosset, Heritage mill in Griselles, France.
Moulin Tosset is a water mill in Griselles featuring a metal wheel with buckets that still displays its original operational mechanism. The building was constructed in different phases, with the southern section being the oldest part.
The southern section dates to early times, while the central chimneys were added in the 15th century reflecting the building's use. The structure underwent several modifications that adapted its function over centuries.
The water wheel and stone structure show how important water power was for farming in this region. These mills were places where local farmers brought their grain for processing.
The mill is under heritage protection and privately owned, so visits require advance arrangement with the owner. Contacting ahead is necessary to schedule a viewing at a convenient time.
The mill's metal wheel stands without protective covering, displaying the raw industrial elements of historical flour production. This exposed construction offers a rare glimpse at the original engineering craftsmanship.
