Le Moulin Neuf d'Angrie, situated in the quiet French village of Angrie, is not your ordinary windmill. It is a breathtaking example of France's industrial heritage, showcasing unique Berton ailes, a large blutery at the ground floor, a regulator with bolts, and an exterior wheel to power the mill on windless days. The mill's roof turns on the tower via a system of pulleys and creepers, adding to its intrigue. This national monument,inscribed in 1975, is more than just a historical building. It's a testament to the region's industrial heritage, complete with a centuries-old oak tree at its base, providing a serene and picturesque setting.
