Watermill

Watermill is a working mill building situated along the Old Tour river, constructed from wood with a prominent water wheel designed for grain processing. The structure displays the typical arrangement of a functional milling operation powered by flowing water.

The mill was built several centuries ago and ranks among the last remaining operational grain mills in the country. It continues to demonstrate traditional milling methods that have been passed down through generations.

The site reflects how local communities once relied on water power and milling craft as central to their livelihood and daily rhythm. Visitors can see how these skills shaped local identity and economic life over generations.

Visitors can watch the mill wheel turning and observe the grain processing in action, often with explanations provided on site. Comfortable footwear is recommended since the approach to the building and interior spaces involve uneven ground and tight areas.

The mill produces flour using water power today, operating by the same mechanical principles used for centuries without relying on modern electricity. This hands-on approach to milling is increasingly rare to witness in Europe.
