In the city of Vernon, not far from Paris, there is an architectural masterpiece - an old water mill.

The only thing known about this bridge is that it was built during the reign of King Philip II.

@lopix/reddit.com

At that time, the bridge was of strategic importance - it confronted the enemy, who at that time was Richard the Lionheart. To raise money for the construction of such an important bridge, the king decided to sell the right to build a mill and to fish near the river, next to the bridge. Years passed, and there were major wars and even bombings but the bridge and the mill remained intact.
