The mill, aged a century plus a couple of decades. Local native region society has taken care of the yard. Even if the atmosphere is very close to nature, the vegetation has been strictly controlled (and in a way it's then unnatural).

The stream Temmesjoki is not a typical mill creek, which could hardly move a toy sand mill. The annual spring floods of Bothnia may have added their extra to the flow, but like this shows it's really a decent stream.

A water duct leads from the stream directly to under the mill. The water wheels are also still present, and supposedly the thing would run, if the shutters were opened from here.

There are lots of wooden parts. Remembering the mill is from 19th century it's not really a surprise.

Myllärien myllynkivitehdas O.y. Naantali "Ennätys".
One of the two milling stone pairs, which have travelled quite a long way from South Western coast to the land of serious knife men.

A traditional rural grain mill is really not more complicated than this. The millstones and a feeder, and an output spout on lower level. That's all.

I suppose this is a flour sack door, since people have not been this short even a century ago.
