A gorgeous place, cozy to the core, I would like to live there, quietly, quietly! The museum itself was impressed by the guide Eugene, a great soul and an interesting storyteller!!! There are many exhibits, information from the history of the mill! The only working watermill in Belarus! They will launch it especially for you and show you everything. Everything breathes history! Thank you very much!!! Thanks to Eugene!!!!
Haven't you heard about Zhodishki before? We also. But it turned out that Zhodishki is a special village: with a centuries–old history, with well-preserved architectural monuments. The fact that it once had the status of a city and Magdeburg law speaks volumes. Zhodishki are located on the Vilia River. There are many historical and cultural sites in the village. The Jesuit collegium, the Calvinist cathedral built in 1612, a distillery and a watermill, which was built in 1781, have been preserved here.
The mill is considered the oldest operating in Belarus — it was included in the list of historical and cultural values, and it still grinds flour with millstones using water.
The unique facility was restored in 1997 by a descendant of the mill owner. The mill building also houses an ethnographic museum and a grain and bread museum.
We went on excursions, signed up ourselves, having found contacts on the Internet. A very interesting tour was conducted for us by Evgeny Evgenievich, who not only works as a miller at this single working watermill, but also tries to interest the guests by conducting an excursion. The mill is still in operation! We were very pleased with this bright trip on our vacation. The exposition will be interesting to anyone, it concerns not only the mill. They started a mill for us, showed it in operation.
