Just across the street from Hallwyl Castle, the historic mill is clearly visible. It is open to the public and shows, in a historically beautiful way, how flour was once made from grain here. The stream that rushes past here via the lake, then over the castle, flows openly through the Mühlhaus. Since visitors usually only pay full attention to the castle, the pretty mill next door is somewhat lost. For that reason and because it is part of the history of Hallwyl Castle, I have included this place as a highlight. PS: Right next to the mill there is another building with a large glass front, in which an old barge from the 16th century is also on display, which is also open to the public. It was discovered in the castle moat during restoration work.
