Moulin de la Bruère
Source

The Moulin de la Bruère is a historical mill that was constructed on the Loir river in the 14th century. It is situated near the town of La Flèche in the Sarthe department of France. This mill is a significant part of the region's history and offers a glimpse into the past.

Unique Features of Moulin de la Bruère

The Moulin de la Bruère is maintained by a local association known as the "Friends of the Moulin de la Bruère". This group is dedicated to preserving the mill and keeping it operational. Interestingly, it is the last mill in France that still produces ice blocks for cooling, a unique feature that adds to its historical charm.

Engineering Feat at Moulin de la Bruère

The Moulin de la Bruère is equipped with a 120-meter long dam across the Loir river. This dam creates an 80-centimeter high waterfall that drives the mill's water wheel. This impressive engineering feat is a testament to the ingenuity of the mill's original builders and adds to the mill's visual appeal for visitors.
