Moulin des Prés de Torpes, Listed architectural structure in Torpes, France
The Moulin des Prés de Torpes is a historic mill building in the village of Torpes, eastern France, listed in the general inventory of cultural heritage as an architectural structure. It stands close to a river and features old timber facades with visible beams and stone arches.
The mill was likely in operation by the late 18th or early 19th century, used for grinding grain and producing oil. It changed hands several times and was later adapted in the 20th century to produce animal feed instead of flour.
The building is in the village of Torpes and can be seen from outside, though access may depend on current conditions. A visit pairs well with a walk through the village and along the nearby river.
The river once ran entirely beneath the mill building, which made it easier to drive the machinery, whereas today only part of the water flows under the nearby bridge. This change in the watercourse can still be read in the layout of the site.
