[FR] En 1991, ses fondations sont remises au jour et l'association "La Tourelle" est créée pour refaire tourner ce moulin, reconstruit en 1994, avec le concours des habitants d'Achicourt et l'appui technique de l'ARAM, (Association Régionale des Amis des Moulins)
Le moulin actuel, en état de fonctionnement, perpétue la mémoire des activités maraîchères et agricoles d'Achicourt. C'est le seul rescapé des nombreux moulins qui existaient à Achicourt en 1790.

[EN] The windmill was destroyed several times, and each time a new windmill was built on the same hillock. The last one, which belonged to the Hacart family, was destroyed by the bombardments of 1915 but retained the name “Hacart windmill”. It was rebuilt in 1991. The windmill is still functional and receives numerous visitors.
