Baden tide mill

The Meriadec mill stands at the mouth of Rohu, creating a 600,000 cubic meter pond in the Baden cove with a 170-meter granite breakwater.

Built in the 18th century on earlier foundations, the mill remained operational until 1967, making it one of the last functioning tide mills in the region.

During World War II, the miller's wife managed operations while her husband was held prisoner, with the mill operating at night to serve local customers.

The structure measures 15.6 meters by 7 meters and now serves as a private residence, visible from the long-distance trail. However, it is no longer accessible to the public.

The mill operates using tidal power, harnessing both rising and falling sea levels to generate hydraulic energy for grain grinding operations.
