This windmill was built between 1719-1721, is one of the oldest of Quebec. It was built by the Sulpicians, commonly known as the lords of the Island of Montreal, who erected by master builder Deguire to replace the first mill that had fallen prey to the rising flood waters. The goal was not only the mill to grind the grain brought by the settlers, but also to serve as a fortress in case of attack. The windmill is a great asset of Old Pointe-aux-Trembles. This object was the status of archaeological-ranked since 1983 by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Quebec.
