What can be seen in this room:

In this room one can admire a large wheel that is turned using the force of water. The mill, constructed from original pieces, dates back to halfway through the eighteenth century, and is perfectly operational. The mills sprang up along the banks of the rivers in locations where there was a certain drop in water level. A narrow artificial channel, called a mill race, funnelled the water towards the water wheel. To adjust the speed a sluice gate on the weir was used, which increased or decreased the flow of water. The water driven mill consisted of a wheel with paddles (hydraulic wheel) fixed on a shaft (axle) and was moved by a water current which gave it a continuous rotational movement. The movement was transmitted to the grinders situated inside the building via a series of gears.
