Molino Lavagna, Cultural heritage monument in San Carlos, Uruguay

The Molino Lavagna stands along the Maldonado stream, featuring a industrial structure that operated through water power for flour production.

In 1884, Italian immigrant Ignacio Lavagna established this flour mill after gaining experience at the Perdomo Mill, operating it until 1915.

The mill represents the industrial development of Uruguay during the late 19th century, marking a period of agricultural and technological advancement.

The monument is located on Avenida José Enrique Rodó in the Lavagna neighborhood, accessible through the Lavagna Bridge over the Maldonado stream.

A devastating fire in 1928 led to the installation of modern German machinery, but financial difficulties forced its closure in 1931.
