Tørning Mill, Hydroelectric power station and cultural monument in Haderslev Municipality, Denmark.
Tørning Mill is a hydroelectric plant in Haderslev that has used water from Stevning pond flowing through Tørning creek to power a Francis turbine since 1908. The site includes historical buildings, open grounds, and remnants of medieval fortifications that shape its character.
The site was established by King Hans in 1494 as a milling location, beginning recorded water power use in Southern Jutland. It has maintained continuous operation over 5 centuries, adapting its technology while serving the same water source.
The property displays layers of different periods through its layout and buildings. Residential structures from various centuries reveal how life evolved at this working site over generations.
The grounds are accessible with parking available and walking paths around the active facility and landscaped areas. Wear suitable footwear as paths and terrain can be slippery after rain or near water features.
The oldest surviving residential building in the nearby settlement of Vojens stands on the property, built in 1700 as the district administrator's house. This makes it one of few documented civilian dwellings from that era in the region.
