Dating back to the 16th century, this water mill in the Tignerie district was used as a flour mill until 1960.
It is unique in that its wells (vats) are made of white Saint-Béat marble.
The inhabitants of the Saint-Béat valleys used to come here to have their wheat milled. It was a real meeting place.
Acquired by the town council in 2001, the Moulin des Arts underwent a meticulous restoration that restored its original mechanism while preserving its historic architectural and technical features.
Today, the Moulin des Arts hosts occasional art exhibitions and serves as an artists’ residence in July for the Sculpture and Marble Festival.
