History
Official heritage record, in French:
Signalé sur le cadastre de 1837, le moulin à vent de Tréouzien ne porte pas de date. Il a été bâti pour JEAN FRANCOIS DONNARS dont le nom orne le linteau de la porte sud. Il dépendait, tout comme le moulin à eau situé plus bas dans la vallée de l'importante ferme dite "manoir" de Tréouzien.Toujours en élévation sur le site, le moulin à vent de Tréouzien, abandonné depuis 1950 est en mauvais état : toiture détruite et mécanisme absent.Aujourd’hui propriété de la commune de Plouhinec, il est envisagé de le restaurer, d’y remettre sa coiffe, ses ailes et une paire de meules pour y produire de la farine.

Architecture
Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:
Isolé sur une hauteur au sud-est de la commune, le moulin à vent de Tréouzien domine la baie d’Audierne et l’abri de Pors Poulhan. Tout en moellons de granite, il s’agit d’un moulin tour du type que l’on trouve au Cap-Sizun ou plus généralement dans le Finistère côtier : plutôt bas, un étage avec fenêtre vers le sud, deux portes ouvertes approximativement au sud et au nord, un escalier intérieur en pierre sur le côté est et cheminée sur le côté ouest. Une cavité est aménagée sous l’escalier pour accueillir la couche du meunier.
