The last mill to arrive at the mill museum in May 2005 was the approximately 100-year-old Serbian mill "mudra Milica". It is a spoon wheel mill from western Serbia. This type of mill was the model for the Pelton turbine. With its spoon water wheels, small amounts of water could be used effectively at high gradients. This type was mainly found in mountainous regions such as the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Carpathians. The mill is a gift from the Serbian Orthodox Bishop Lavrentije of the Diocese of Šabac-Valjevo for the 25th anniversary of the mill museum.
