The Tiquetorte mill is located on the banks of the Jalle de Moulis in Médoc. This old water mill still has its millstone.
Tiquetorte is the deformation of “Artiguetorte”. already in the 17th century, parish registers used Tiquetorte or Artiguetorte interchangeably to name the mill. Artigue in langue d'oc is the corresponding of essart in langue d'oïl to designate medieval clearing areas and "torte" means crooked.
The mill is built on a canalized part of the Jalle, the old bed only ensuring the evacuation of the overflow. The mill itself, as well as the lower part of the dwelling house, are from the high period, from the 16th century at the latest.
