The owners like to share the history of the mill and often display all the cereals and products that can be used at their mill and also grind some fresh flour for the locals.

The family is very passionated about their mill and are trying to revive it after it was abandoned for a long time. Unfortunatelly a lot of work has to be done, which could last a couple of years and will cost a lot of money. Still the family is optimistic and tries to do most of the work on their own, little by little.

All the machines are made of wood and stone and most of the equipment in the mill dates back in time when the mill was build. A lot of it was stolen while the mill was abandoned, but luckily some people in the area still have the knowledge of restoring and buidling mills and mill wheels.
