Molí de Brotons, Historic watermill in Castellcir, Spain.

The Molí de Brotons stands alongside the Marfà river at an elevation of 545 meters, featuring remnants of two small rooms and a water wheel opening.

From 1608 until the mid-19th century, this mill served the agricultural needs of the local community before a flood in 1863 led to its abandonment.

The mill structure demonstrates traditional Catalan water-powered milling techniques and represents the agricultural heritage of the Moianès region in Barcelona province.

Access to the mill requires a moderate 10-kilometer hike from Moià along marked trails, with parking available near the GR-3 path entrance.

The mill incorporates cave-like elements into its structure, utilizing natural rock formations along the riverbank near the Salt de la Tosca waterfall.
