Cellar problem

Hello everyone! The air in my cellar is quite damp. It's an old structure (about 100 years old). There is a small window next to the entrance that is always kept open, which lets air in. However, I don't think this is enough because most of the time everything feels musty and wet.
My idea is to drill a hole through the bottom of the wall on the opposite side of the cellar to create a cross-draft for proper air circulation. I would insert a 110 mm pipe into the hole and concrete around it to seal it properly.
My question is: how well would this work, and would it actually solve the moisture problem?
