Moulin de Bellerive
CAYRAC , Tarn-et-Garonne – Cultural heritage
About
Mill built in 1781 by Louis Martin de Bellerive. Private property but the mill is visible from the road.
The Bellerive Mill was protected as a Historic Monument in 1989. It is built of brick with stone bases. It consists of three levels and housed eight horizontal (flat) turbines.
• Four for grinding flour;
• One to operate the bluterie mechanism (which acted like a sieve, to separate the flour from the bran which envelops the grains);
• Two to transmit power to a neighboring sawmill;
• One for pumping water.
The mill roadway was damaged by a flood during the winter of 1783. This caused difficulties later. Then after another break in the roadway in 1911, the mill’s activity ceased definitively.
