The Mill

The interior of the medieval castle mill building, reconstructed in 1902, houses authentic modern mill equipment from the end of the 18th century. It is a good example that illustrates the approach of the conservators. The reconstructed former monastic buildings that did not survive till present times were furnished with elements of old architecture, such as medieval details or pillars. A set of wooden mechanisms from a dismantled horse mill near Malbork gives the new interior an aged look, at the same time preserving the region’s technical culture. However, these elements, including a wheel, were only placed there later, as the original Teutonic Knights’ mill was a water-powered facility.
