There is a record of the watermill on the having already existed in 1263 when it belonged to the Priory of Aubiey. In the nineteenth century the mill was purchased by a member of the Mathurin family: this was a family of millers that had come from the Vendée, probably driven east by the brutal repression which followed a failed counter-revolution in the 1790s. The mill is now part of a modern flour mill, still owned by the family that acquired it more than a century ago.
