Tips from the Community
At the mill there is no information at all about the mill itself, nor what opening hours apply. In my opinion, an absolutely missed opportunity. According to traditions (whatever they are?) this windmill was built in the first half of the 19th century. It is a very charming windmill that dominates the region at an altitude of 355 meters from where there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The municipality of Bouhy decided to buy it in 2001 and carried out the restoration. We have experienced this restoration up close and it was excellently carried out, considering the current state of the mill. A fantastic and beautiful piece of heritage, especially if you look at the "folding" blades of the mill.

The round tower that dominates the surroundings and, above all, the four preserved or restored wings, which can now capture the power of the wind again as before, make it visible from afar: In its exposed location, this windmill is a recommendable eye-catcher in the landscape.

The Château de Saint-Vérain and the village were once one. The proximity of the Porte de Cosne suggests that Saint-Vérain was a castral village.

The Porte de Cosne was formerly known as the Porte du Vieux Château de Cosne. In the 9th century the village was surrounded by a wooded fortification until in the 12th century stone fortifications began to be built. Looking closely, one can see that the roof of the gate is exceptionally steep. The tower that originally existed was to be over 20 meters high and closed with heavy gates and a portcullis to prevent enemy attacks.

This fantastic 19th century mill was used until very recently at the end of the 20th century. It was restored in 200- by a group of local activists and is now used to produce flour from local wheat. You can visit the mill and see it working.
