Hypolzmühle

Grain was ground into flour in the Hypolz mill for over 600 years. It was first mentioned in a document in 1382. The mill's current equipment is still fully intact and corresponds to the state of the art from the first half of the 20th century.

Many old details have been preserved in the residential building and the mill, such as embrasure-like windows, a ceiling beam with the year 1656, baroque door fittings and an oven for 25 loaves of bread. The mill, the adjacent sawmill and the fulling mill were originally operated by overshot water wheels. The old weir system and the mill stream, which is still partly constructed as a block stone channel, are still preserved. In 1941, a water wheel was replaced by a Francis turbine, which still supplies the electricity for the mill and the residential building.
