Le moulin de Louzelergue

Louzelergue, 23500 Clairavaux

A mill dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, it has recently been restored by the municipality of Clairavaux in partnership with the Creuse General Council, the Millevaches Regional Nature Park, the Fondation du Patrimoine, and with technical support from the association Bâti et Savoir-faire en Limousin. This mill features a ‘Cruck’ type framework, an ancient and increasingly rare technique. Like most of the surrounding mills, it has a paddlewheel mechanism, meaning that a horizontal paddlewheel was driven by water. A constant flow of water was ensured all year round by a reservoir built upstream. This paddle wheel, in turn, drove the millstone.
