Elstermühle Plessa, Historical watermill and museum in Plessa, Germany

The three-story mill structure stands along the Schwarzen Elster river, featuring a large water wheel and complete milling equipment collection.

The mill, reconstructed in 1711 following a fire, received its current configuration in 1925 with advanced grinding mechanisms and processing systems.

The mill museum displays industrial heritage through multiple floors of exhibits, presenting cutting tools, grain mills, and traditional processing equipment.

Tours require advance reservations, with special openings during German Mill Day and regular guided visits available at 2 PM and 4 PM on Pentecost Monday.

The facility maintains operational milling machinery, including two roller mills, a crusher, elevators, and a small sawmill in an adjacent building.
