The residential building bears the year 1858 and the stables the year 1861. The mill itself was modernized around 1960, including a new plansifter . The Fleury flour mill (named after the owner's name) had existed since 1854 and ceased operations in 1997. The mill is closed today, but the last miller still lives there.
