Listed as a historical monument, the Verzenay windmill is a pivot type windmill like those found in Holland. Built in 1820, it is located on the Mont-Bœuf (222 metres) about 700 metres northwest of Verzenay (Marne). Wheat, barley, and rye were milled here thanks to a system that allowed the simultaneous milling of two types of grain. Three families of millers succeeded one another until the mill was finally closed in 1903. The mill was sold in 1904 for 10,000 gold francs to the Goulden Champagne house. Owned by G.H. Mumm Champagne house since 1972, the Verzenay mill is a private reception area.
