The mill in the vicinity of Čiobiškis was very important, because there were few mills around, and people's needs were greater.

The Čiobiškis water mill was built in 1900. next to the old thief of the river Muse. A dam was built in front of the mill and a pond was formed, stretching about half a kilometer from the mill. As it ran low, the floodgates had to be closed to collect water. The mill mechanisms were turned by a turbine, then an electric motor appeared in place of the turbine. The mill started using electricity quite late. 1962 after the collapse of the dam, grain was ground using an electric motor with a power of 30 KW. The mechanisms were rotated by a belt drive. The mill had two millstones.

Between the wars the mill was rented out. The mill was serviced by a miller with his hired workers. Jews worked as millers. It is known that in 1939 Juzefs Šepelskis, who came from Poland and came to Čiobiškis only in 1939, also worked as a millwright. in November He could not speak Lithuanian. 1942 the owner of the mill was Mykolas Steikūnas. The miller Jonas Kvietkauskas, who worked since 1946, is also known.
