Tjurkö, water powered mill

The environment at Tjurkö Mill is beautiful, where old culture such as stone bridges and the old mill meet with beautiful nature and the babbling water in the stream beds.

Tjurkö Mill is the pride of the local heritage association. Every year in May, a mill day is organized, during which the old mill grinds rye and the public has the opportunity to see the mill in operation and buy freshly ground rye flour.

Here at Tjurkö Mill, water power in the babbling stream beds has been utilized for human needs for centuries without harming the environment.

As early as 1692, a report stated that the mill was ancient. The mill was previously a simple watermill but was converted to a wheel mill around this time. The milling operations at Tjurkö Mill ceased in 1954. The mill was donated to the Agunnaryd Heritage Association in 1956, and in 1976-77 it was restored and now functions well.
