Baalsbrugger mill

I earlier blipped the mill. That was 4 years ago and wintertime. 

Until French Time, Abbey Rolduc had the mill owned by the abbey. The anchor of the building dates from 1743. At that time, the mill had three wooden water wires used as a grain mill (one for rye and one for wheat) and as an oil mill. In 1854, the rudder mill had a width of 76 centimeters and a diameter of 5.5 meters. The wheat flour was 51 centimeters wide with a diameter of 5.5 meters. The oil mill was 39 centimeters wide with a diameter of 6.4 meters. The roggemolen hung in front of the facade, while the wheat mill and the oil mill sat in a separate water channel. If the wheat flour had to rotate, the oil mill always turned and vice versa.

In the 1850s, probably 1867, the rags of wheat flour and the oil mill were lost and were then broken down.

In 1894 the water row derived from 1884 was replaced by another row with a width of 119 meters and a diameter of 5 meters and the water was brought to the blades by a tapping tube.

In 1916, there was a great deal of water pollution, causing the water wheel to be destroyed. In 1916, the owner was granted permission for the placement of a turbine. It became a Francisturbine with a turbine chamber in the place of the row.

Since 1967 the mill is a national monument.

In 1974 the water rights were sold and the Worm was channeled here.
