The Moulin de la Saline is a windmill in Cherrueix , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine in the region Brittany , built in the 19th century. In 1977, the former windmill on the Route de la Saline was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique .

The quarry stone mill with a conical roof is one of three mills in Cherrueix that were built in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel because of the strong winds . All three mills have the same design.

The Moulin de la Saline was bought and renovated by the municipality, with the wind turbine being restored.
