MOLINO FORCLAZ
First wheat mill in the Colón region, built in the Dutch style and requiring a lot of wind to operate
The first wheat mill in the region, dating back to 1887, it was founded by French, Savoyards and Swiss who had established a small colony in the area since the mid-1850s. The mill bears the name of its builder: Jean-Baptiste Forclaz, who arrived in the region in 1859. The mill was designed to grind wheat and corn. It was built in the Dutch style, and required a lot of wind to operate. However, the area is not very windy, so it would seem that the mill was never fully operational...
