The 16th century mill is located in the heart of the Merian Gardens. Although grain has not been ground here for a long time, the water-powered mill wheel is still in regular operation.
The 16th century mill is located in the heart of the Merian Gardens. Although grain has not been ground here for a long time, the water-powered mill wheel is still in regular operation.
The historic building in the hamlet of Brüglingen on the outskirts of Basel now houses the mill museum with a small exhibition on the history of milling. The mill was in full operation until the 1950s. In the milling room, one can easily imagine how wheat, spelt and rye were milled in Christoph Merian's time. The heart of the museum is the heavy water wheel and its impressive wooden and steel drive mechanism, which is still fully functional today. Twice a month the miller starts the historic water wheel. He explains the impressive mechanics and sends you back into the exciting history of the mill with his stories.
