Unique Features
What sets the Moulin des Tours apart from other mills of the same period is its defensive architecture, rare for a mill. The towers that frame it were equipped for defence against invasion or looting, reflecting the tumultuous period of the Middle Ages. Inside, the mill was used to grind grain, a vital function for the local economy at the time.
The Site today
Today, the Moulin des Tours de Barbaste is a fascinating place to visit for those interested in history and architecture. Although the original mill mechanism is no longer in use, the site has been carefully preserved and remains an outstanding example of medieval technology. Guided tours are available, allowing visitors to discover the secrets of its construction and operation.

The Moulin des Tours is located near the Romanesque bridge at Barbaste, itself a historic monument, and surrounded by picturesque natural landscapes that invite relaxation and discovery. Visitors can enjoy walks along the river, picnics in the surrounding green spaces, or fishing in the tranquil waters of the Gélise.
