Baden tide mill, Tide mill in Baden, France

The Baden tide mill stands at the mouth of the Rohu River on the Baden cove. Its light grey masonry walls rise from a darker stone base at the waterline, topped by a steep dark grey slate roof with four small dormer windows on the left slope and a tall stone chimney at the ridge's far end. The facade facing the water has three small square windows in a row above a low arched opening, with two curved metal wall anchors fixed to the stone.

The mill was built in the 18th century on land where earlier milling structures had stood for generations. It continued operating until 1967, making it one of the last functioning tide mills in the area before mechanization and new technologies took over.

The mill's name in Breton tradition ties it to the tide, and locals still call the inlet by the mill's name. Grain was ground only on the ebb, so the miller's working day followed the sea rather than the clock. The building is now a private residence, and its stone walls and slate roof are visible from the coastal path.

The mill is visible from a long-distance hiking trail that passes nearby, allowing visitors to see it from a distance. Since the building is now a private residence and closed to the public, walking the trail in clear weather provides the best viewing conditions.

The mill's operations were entirely tied to tidal cycles, meaning work began and ended with the rising and falling sea rather than on a fixed daily schedule. When the miller was imprisoned during World War II, his wife took over the nighttime grinding to supply neighbors with flour and meal.
