About The Mill of Vimoutiers

A working 14th-century watermill on the river La Vie, one of the last operational flour mills in Normandy. First documented in 1336 as a tanning mill for local leather workshops, it was converted to grain milling and rebuilt after World War II bombing. The half-timbered building retains all original equipment including millstones, grain separator, flour sifter, kneading trough, and a wood-fired bread oven.

The mill's water rights date back to 1336 and were officially reconfirmed by King Louis Philippe in 1847, making them among the oldest continuously documented water usage rights in the Orne department. These medieval rights still legally govern how water from the La Vie river can be used by the property.
