Henry IV's Mill

Highlight • Castle

The mill is located on the northwest side of the municipality of Nérac, in contact with the municipalities of Lavardac and Barbaste . It made it possible to control the passages on the bridge of Barbaste, which is 20 m downstream from the highest tower of the mill. This bridge already existed in 1259 because it is mentioned in the homage Ysarn de Sainte-Marise to the Count of Toulouse for all the land he owned in Agenais.

The mill has a sturdy appearance. The central body has a square plan. It is bordered by four towers also of square plan.

The mill consists of six floors above the floor of the mill wheels.

Height of the towers: 29 m. (for the highest), 26 m. and 27 m. for the others.

This exceptional monument is the largest fortified mill in France. It is also called the Henri IV mill, because it belonged to Henri de Navarre, who became one of the most popular kings of France. You can visit it between April and October. To get there you have to take a splendid Romanesque bridge.

A stroll along the river, elegant galleries, and royal memories echo each other.
A must-see to understand the soul of Nérac and Albret.
