Moulin à vent de Langlade, Stone windmill in Langlade, France.
Description
The Moulin à vent de Langlade is a windmill with a cylindrical stone tower in the French countryside. A wooden roof with rotating sails at the top captures wind to grind grain into flour.
History
The mill originated in the early medieval period and was first recorded in 1211. It served the farming community by providing essential grain processing services.
Culture
The mill shows how local farmers traditionally ground grain using wind power. Visitors can still observe the internal mechanisms that reveal the agricultural methods of the region.

The mill was restored in 2004 to bring back its grain-grinding function after years of disuse. This renovation demonstrates how the community values preserving its rural heritage for future generations.
