Hellenurme Mill Museum, Watermill museum in Tartu maakond, Estonia.
The Hellenurme Mill Museum spans four floors, displaying traditional grain processing equipment and operational milling mechanisms along the Elva River.
The watermill, constructed during the 1880s as part of Hellenurme Manor, remains operational and maintains its original grinding mechanisms and water power system.
Visitors participate in hands-on bread making sessions using freshly ground flour, following Estonian milling traditions passed down through generations.
The museum requires advance reservations for tours and workshops, with visitors able to contact the mill operator directly for scheduling their experience.
This establishment holds the distinction of being Estonia's last functioning historical water mill, producing fresh flour through traditional water-powered mechanisms.
