It is a family heirloom and is owned today by the fourth generation of millers. Beautiful piece of history,well preserved, and nicely presented by the family who owns the place - 4th generation of keepers We stopped by to see this ancient way of providing flour to the locals, got a special plant tea, and a full explanation about the history of this and the story of their family who kept the tradition ways of milling corn and flour Quite a mess to locate - google maps are not so accurate :) Better to call in advance to make sure they are home Great experience. The host is very passionate about restoring and maintaining one of the oldest surviving water mills in Europe. He was very warm and funny, at the same time explaining all the technical details related to milling. And he has great tasting Palinca. 100% worth the visit. It’s great to see families still preserving the old ways. The owner gave us a nice tour of the and how it works. You can even come with your own grains and use it :) Family heirloom, still in function ever since 1873. The owner is actually the guide and you have the chance to listen to a piece of history. Don't forget to buy somerhing hand made, like a bag of fresh flour, jam or sweater or a pair of socks kneatted by the 86 years old Grandmother. The 5 lei visiting tax is barely enough to cover the expenses for the maintenanace of the mill. Very nice place. The owner is super friendly and will explain the whole history of this family run mill. You can buy home-made jams and palinca from the owner. The entry fee is 5RON/person. Awesome water mill, still functional, operating since the 1870s. The photos are from a photo album and show the four generations of millers that have lived and worked there. Visitors can buy milled corn and wheat flour. The entrance fee is 10 lei (ca. 2 euro).
