The
mill is situated on a branch of the Indre river, canalized by the monks
of the Beaulieu-Lès-Loches Benedictine abbey, in 1492. However, the
very first miller was a Templar knight, from the Beaulieu Temple order.
Afterwards, the mill took its name after the miller had to pay taxes to
abbey chappler (chappler = aumonier).
You can visit the mill in the same condition as it was in 1962, when it stopped its flour activity.
