A few hundred meters past the Lahmuse manor is a beautiful lake, and on its shore stands the Lahmuse watermill. It features well-preserved machines and an old round-vaulted grain dryer.

​

Here you can learn about the Estonian mills, the history of grain processing from stone-age pestles to medieval grindstones, and the rise of mills and their mechanisms. 
 

A film shows the local millstones, groat machine and fine grinder at work, and shows you how and why each type of grain was milled, and how much flour it produced. 

​

The building's basement floor is for gearheads: here you can see the watermill's turbine, cam drives and a remarkable Deutz piston engine.

The mill played an important role in the village: it was the source of fine, bread and feed-quality flour, grits and groats, and haymeal. Every family would visit the mill several times a year.
