The mill has an 11-meter-high rotating cap, built of white stone. Three large wheels, the slewing mechanism with a double set of cast iron rollers on rails, form two raceways, one vertical and one horizontal. It is the only restored stone mill from this period in the region.
Built after the abolition of privileges in 1799, it is therefore designated a revolutionary mill. It operated until 1950.
This magnificent grain mill is a testament to architectural genius and the region's agricultural past. With its imposing brick structure and majestic turning sails, the Moulin de Moringhem offers a captivating glimpse into the history and traditions of rural France, making it a must-see destination for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the country's cultural heritage.
The Moulin de Moringhem is a symbol of the craftsmanship required to build this traditional French windmill. Built entirely from local materials, such as bricks and wood, this impressive structure showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the French at the time of its creation. The intricate mechanisms inside the windmill, including the millstones and gears, demonstrate the technical expertise required to operate such a complex machine. Standing beside this historic monument, one cannot help but feel a sense of admiration and appreciation for the dedication and hard work put into the construction and maintenance of the Moulin de Moringhem.
