Pen Castel tide mill

The Pen Castel tide mill extends 120 meters along the Gulf of Morbihan coastline, constructed with dimension stone and granite building materials.

Originally built in the 17th century, the mill remained operational until 1921, after which it transformed into a restaurant during the 1950s and a disco in the 1970s.

The structure represents the engineering capabilities of maritime communities, demonstrating methods of harnessing tidal power for grain processing in previous centuries.

The mill functions as an exhibition space from February to December, with different opening hours during high and low seasons for public visits.

Following restoration in 2009, this classified natural site maintains its original mechanisms while serving as a contemporary cultural center for exhibitions and concerts.
