Builder of the Nogent-le-Phaye wind turbine.
Origin and history
The Nogent-le-Phaye wind turbine is a Bollée wind turbine installed in 1898 in the commune of Nogent-le-Phaye in the department of Eure-et-Loir. It was designed to supply water to the communal wash, thus playing an essential role in local daily life. Its mechanism, combined with a reservoir, allowed to store and redistribute water even in the absence of wind, guaranteeing a continuous supply.
This column type wind turbine, built by Lebert, is distinguished by its additional pavilion that channels the wind. It is complete, with a propeller attached to the base of the turbine, balconies indicating the cardinal points, and a three-piston pump still visible under its shelter. The well, lateral, follows the typical installation of Bollée wind turbines.
Ranked a historic monument in 1993, the wind turbine and its complex (pump, reservoir, covered wash) are now protected. This industrial heritage reflects the technical ingenuity of the 19th century and the importance of renewable energies in the municipal infrastructure of the time.
