Four medieval overshot waterwheels with water races, Fougeres, France


The old mill boasts four overshot waterwheels, each with its own water race fed from the mill pond at the foot of the Chateau de Fougeres (Fougeres Castle), one of the largest castles in Europe. The mill now serves as the entrance and visitor centre for the castle. View from bridge over the moat.
