Museum of the History of Milling and Water Equipment of Rural Industry

Local name: Muzeum Młynarstwa i Wodnych Urządzeń Przemysłu Wiejskiego

The museum presents the exhibitions dedicated to the history of milling, grain processing, and mill's work stages. The expositions are located in three buildings: the water mill from 1971, the stable, and the miller's house. The mill's annex consists of a small hydroelectric power plant. It's also there where museum lessons about this plant are organized.

The building of the former stable, houses the exhibition on the topic of traditional cereal processing from the oldest times to the 20th century. Visitors can admire, among others, quern-stones, mortars for grinding groats, mills, and grain mills. The water mill, on the other hand, presents mill's work stages, drain pipes, grain containers, and small auxiliary devices.

The museum also consists of the unique collection of mill miniatures made by engineer Feliks Klaczyński. The models are largely in 1:40 scale. The area of the facility also contains the post mill with the reconstructed interior. What is more, the museum displays various types of mill drives.
