Alte Mühle, Watermill and cultural heritage monument in Saselbek, Germany
Description
The Alte Mühle is a watermill building in Saselbek with original parts from when it was in use. The structure has a large water wheel and stone grinding wheels that show how grain was milled.
History
The building was created to process grain for the growing village community and was long an important part of the local economy. Over time it lost its function as new technologies changed the milling process.
Culture
The mill shows the craft traditions of millers who processed grain for local people and made the place an important meeting point for the community. You can still see how the work happened and what role the mill played in everyday life.
Practical
The site is reachable on foot and sits in a quiet area outside the village center. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the ground can be uneven and the paths are naturally surfaced.
Did you know?
The water wheel is still functional and is occasionally set in motion to show visitors how the mill once worked. This makes the building a living example of old technology rather than just a static display.
