Origin and history
The windmill of Saint-Lazare, located in Lamballe-Armor in the Côtes-d Built in shale and granite, it stands on Mount Boët, overlooking the city. With a circular plan with three square floors, it is covered with a conical roof in shingles or slate depending on the sources. Its restored wings and rudder recall its original use of flour mill.
The mill, originally called the Red Mill, was reportedly built between 1788 and 1830. He probably ceased his activity in 1901. In 1972, Lamballe undertook a complete restoration, replacing the wings in 1974. In 1977 it was listed as a historical monument and was later occupied by local associations such as the lay Amicale (1987) and the deer of Saint-Lazare (2002).
A communal property, the mill illustrates the traditional architecture of Breton tower mills. Its careful restoration, including the reconstruction of the wings at cross, makes it a preserved testimony of the rural industrial heritage. The work of 1972 and 1974 was aimed at preserving its authenticity, while adapting to contemporary associative uses.
