    Hiking

    The castle mill was driven by a so-called Francis shaft turbine until 1956, which was best suited for the small mill canal.
    Around 1849, James B. Francis improved the design of an earlier turbine and developed the technology further by conducting detailed tests on the turbine, publishing the results and formulating rules for the design of the impeller.

    Hiking

    The Francis turbine is a very universal water turbine named after the engineer James B. Francis from the USA, in which the impeller is flown radially from the outside.
