Le Moulin de Haut, Castel

The dial is at the base of the left chimney, wedged out to face direct south. It is a rather fine dial, dated 1769. It has a complete gnomon and hour lines from 6am to 6pm, and is inscribed with the letters’IDMR’. The house itself dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, but it was refashioned in the 18th century. The stone over the front door has a curious carving said to be associated with the Lefebvre family.
