Description Destination
Experience the living past in our historic Birgel watermill! On selected days, the technology museum comes to life and takes you on a journey back in time to when mills, stationary engines and steam engines set the pace of progress.
Be amazed by the impressive variety of our fully functional machines: from the majestic steam engine, built in 1917, to the mechanical oil press, which has been pressing fresh oil for over 130 years, to the three-story grain mill, which forms the heart of the mill. Every detail tells a story of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and hard work.
