Description

The mill of Tiquetorte is located on the banks of the Jalle de Moulis in the Médoc. This old watermill still has its millstone.
Tiquetorte is the deformation of "Artiguetorte". Already in the 17th century, the parish registers used either Tiquetorte or Artiguetorte to name the mill. Artigue in langue d'oc is the correspondent of essart in langue d'oïl to designate medieval clearing areas and " torte " means twisted.
The mill is built on a canalised part of the Jalle, the old bed only ensuring the evacuation of the overflow. The mill itself, as well as the lower part of the dwelling house, are of high period, at the latest of the 16th century.
