Too bad the texture of the mill is a bit neglected!

Good

The jewel of Szegvár! ❤️🇹🇯

I could only look at it from the outside, but I could go in. It's in very good condition.

I was co-authoring the material: Zsolt Nagy Imre-Gencs Mária Built in 1802, the brick mill was renovated in 1982. Visible during business hours , plus guided tours by prior arrangement. Cereal grains produced by the careful work of the farmer are rarely put on the table in their original form. In order for man to make digestible food from the seeds, it is necessary to crush and grind the eyes. Suitable mortars are suitable for processing relatively small quantities of cereals. For the sake of greater efficiency, mankind had already milled the crop by hand with two stones already in ancient times. The Hungarian peasantry also preserved such hand cattle. As cereal production increased, mills with different animal power or wind and water energies were spreading throughout Europe. Old maps still indicate the location of the dry mills at the beginning of today's Malom Street and in the square in front of the House of Culture, where a double dry mill was written. In these mills, the grinding stones were rotated with a gear mechanism, animal force. In addition, the grain of the Negro was milled with water mills on the Tisza and Kurca. The only windmill in the village was built around 1865. The exact date of construction is unknown, but we know that in 1865 an extremely rich crop was promised, so the village elders decided to build a windmill.
