Moulin de Rouvres, Medieval watermill in Rouvres-en-Woëvre, France.
The Moulin de Rouvres stands along a stream with its original stone walls and wooden mechanisms for grain processing.
First documented in the 13th century, this watermill evolved from a Gallo-Roman farm site into an abbey before becoming a critical income source.
The mill represents the agricultural traditions of Lorraine, where water-powered grain processing sustained local communities for centuries.
Currently housing a World War I museum, the mill opens to visitors interested in both industrial heritage and military history.
During World War I, the German army transformed this mill into a military camp that accommodated 3,000 soldiers near the Verdun front.
