Windmill (Bain-de-Bretagne)

Former windmill in Bain-de-Bretagne (2013)

The windmill in Bain-de-Bretagne , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Bretagne region , was built in the first half of the 19th century. In 1974 the former windmill in the residential area Pommeniac was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique .

The mill, in which grain was ground until 1925, stands on a hill. The round building with a conical roof is around eight meters high and made of quarry stone masonry. The interior of the three-storey building has a round staircase and lintels made of wood.

The building was converted into a residential building.
