- This old mill is located in the middle of this small town, in an industrial area, which is also close to being abandoned. The mill itself stopped working in the seventies and since then, there has been all sorts of small business in the first floor of the office side of this building. At the moment there is a small canoe workshop in the first floor. - The grain silo itself has been empty all these years and is sealed carefully. Also all the windows from the office side are closed with wooden plates, ladders leading to the roof are cut off so that no one can climb to the roof anymore. - The city officials are at the moment thinking about demolishing the whole building and building some appartment houses in that area. The second suggestion is that the old mill should be renovated and move to be an block of service flats for old people. - There has been all sorts of plans, after the mill was shut down. I think the craziest idea was to turn the mill into a restaurant. With crazy I mean that the grain silo is really high and to have a terrace up there, and people being drunk...

- Actually I don't want to know what's inside of this bottle. Seems to be red stuff... I can only imagine from the poorly painted pentagrams and from the empty beer bottles that were all around, that what's going on here late Friday nights. |

- Last Stop. - The railway station isn't far away and once this railway for the mill went through the city. Now, only these few meters are left. |
