Set amidst the vineyards, the Courrian windmill (also known as the Blaignan or Caussan windmill), owned by Château la Tour Haut Caussan, is a Berton wing mill.
Restored in 1981, it still has its interior mechanism.
Berton wings are a technical improvement from the 19th century. Made of thin planks pivoting on verrons hinged to the yards, they can be extended and retracted at will. They are operated from inside the mill, thanks to a four-arm mechanism attached to the drive shaft, eliminating the need to cover the wings with canvas.
In addition to a visit to the Château, a tour of the mill is available on request.
Visits are also possible on special occasions (e.g. Journée des Moulins).
