History+
The Monastery Mill was an integral part of a monastery, whose exact founding history and development are no longer known in detail today. Its existence, however, points to a time when monasteries functioned as economic and cultural centers and operated their own infrastructures, such as mills, for self-sufficiency and income generation. The mill served to process grain and was thus an indispensable component of monastic life and the local economy.
