Origin and history
The Nantoin Mill is a water mill certified in the second half of the 18th century on the map of Cassini. It was initially integrated into a farm owned by Gabriel Laurencin, mayor of Nantoin, in the 1830s. This site, fed by a water supply and two beefs, was mainly used for milling wheat.
In the 1880s-1890s, the Reypin family modernized the mill by installing a large fully metallic auger wheel, measuring 10 metres in diameter for 1 metre in width. This wheel, exceptional in its dimensions, corresponds to the elevation between the water retention and the discharge channel. Its hydraulic system, rare in France, combines an arrival of water under pressure and complete installations (subterranean and hillside fowls, plumbing lines).
The mill has been partially classified and listed as historical monuments since 3 March 1997. The classification refers to the large wheel and its hydraulic device, while the water retention and supply are indicated. Located along the RD 51 in the hamlet of Petit Nantoin, it bears witness to the technical ingenuity of 19th-century water mills in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
