Jerusalem Mill

Here you can learn more about The Jerusalem Mill.

The Jerusalem Mill dates from the early Middle Ages and is considered one of the country’s oldest secular buildings, meaning that it had no religious function and was instead used in everyday life – unlike churches and monasteries.

The mill was converted to electric power in 1923, but operations ceased just five years later. The Jerusalem Mill and nearby Rasmus Mill are so-called water mills, which use a large vertical water wheel to drive the mill via a horizontal axle.

Today, the Jerusalem Mill is owned by the Grenna Museum Foundation. While the mill can no longer be used for grinding, it is opened once a year on Röttle day, held on the first Sunday in May.
