Great Mill , Medieval watermill in Gdańsk, Poland.

The Great Mill stands as a brick structure with distinctive Gothic architecture, featuring multiple floors and large windows along its robust walls.

The Teutonic Knights constructed this mill in 1350, which operated continuously until World War II and produced 200 tons of flour daily.

This mill represented the industrial capabilities of medieval Gdańsk and served as a central facility for grain processing and bread production.

Located on Wielkie Młyny Street 16, the Great Mill contains retail spaces and displays information about its historical milling operations.

The mill operated with 18 water wheels powered by the Radunia Canal, making it one of the largest industrial facilities in medieval Europe.
