50. Watermill in Turistvandi

The biggest part of the village is the watermill, which is considered to be a unique monument of industrial history. At the bank of river Túr, even in 1315 existed water-mills, but the predecessor of the present watermill is from the age of Maria Theresa according to archives. With several renovations, this mill is still in operation it grains wheat out of presentation purposes, for the sake of tourists. The building from the front looks like a two-storied wooden house, however if we take a few more steps, the huge wooden wheel will immediately come to sight.
