The story of this place

Municipal information traces the mill's origins to the fifteenth century and a land grant in 1435. Restoration revealed traces of an earlier channel. Present appearance alone cannot date the entire history of the site. The municipality acquired the mill in 1986; restoration took place in 2006–2007. Water storage and discharge explain its work: look also at the ground and channels connecting the building to the tide.

What to look for

Connect visible walls with the channel. Restoration discoveries show that part of the history lies below ground, beyond the façade.

Repair

Gu connects repair with responsibility for what is inherited. Restoration must distinguish damage to address from traces to preserve. An old channel reminds us that intervention can also erase evidence. Understanding before acting is part of care.
