Moulins de Saint-Luc

About the museum

The mills of Saint-Luc are an example of a commercial water-power facility from the 16th century and were part of everyday life in the traditional Val d’Anniviers. Several buildings are linked by water channels in cascade, so that the water drives the various works one after another.

The complex includes a maize mill, a barley fulling mill with a nut press, two mills for rye and wheat, a cloth fulling mill, and the miller’s house. The buildings have been restored and are now open to visitors; the tourist information gives 1986 as the year of renovation.

In July and August the mills are open at fixed times, and guided tours are also offered in French and English.
