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.
An atmospheric place, worth a visit! You can't really see the mill from the outside, but inside there is an excellent exposition on three floors, which a sincere miller guide will tell you about and even start the millstones! Plus a beautiful territory and a waterfall at the dam 👍
Very interesting, an interesting guide. An operating mill, visually. One of the disadvantages is that you need to sign up for a tour by phone in advance, you just won't be able to visit it "in passing".
A beautiful and interesting place. There is something to see and where to take a photo. I was late, and the museum itself was closed, but I managed to walk around the territory. I recommend you to visit.
We did not get into the territory, we looked from the bridge, in order to get into the territory you need to make a phone call and then someone will probably come, but it is not known whether they will come on Sunday, so it is better to call in advance so as not to come in vain.
A very cool and interesting museum, one of the best! Be sure to take a guided tour, which you need to book in advance and arrange a time. The museum is interactive, you can touch and twist a lot, which is especially suitable for children)
Unexpectedly a great place for history lovers. A real working watermill, which has been kept in working condition and leads wonderful excursions. I highly recommend visiting.
A unique place. I recommend taking a look. The mill is operational. Pre-order an excursion from the caretaker of the mill. Without a caretaker, you can only see the area around.
Обязательно к посещению. Единственная действующая водяная мельница в РБ. 1781 год, если не ошибаюсь. Обязательно позвонить перед поездкой, если хотите, чтобы для Вас провели экскурсию. Сделано с душой. Музей небольшой, но интересный и познавательный.
Большое спасибо Евгению за проведенную экскурсию!

There is no schedule, and do not look for it in other comments. Phone numbers are not answered and do not try. Delete immediately from the points to visit from your trip, you will waste your time.

Прекрасный музей и местечко! Обязательно позвоните экскурсоводу (местные жители подскажут телефон) и он откроет вам мельницу, расскажет и покажет много интересного. Без экскурсии - посещение однозначно было бы неполноценным.
The place is very beautiful, atmospheric, but unfortunately it was not possible to visit it. It was closed. There is no schedule. We didn't see any contact numbers either, so 3 stars.
A super place. I recommend everyone to visit. A unique guide, sweet, sincere, the places are the most beautiful. There is a manor nearby, you can eat, relax, stay overnight.
Это работающая водяная мельница, хотя колесо это больше бутафория, а внутри стоит водная турбина. Экскурсия позновательная, дедушка, он же владелец, рассказывает на белорусском языке. Есть комната в которой собраны ручные средства обработки начиная от посадки зерна до изготовления муки. На втором этаже собраны различные предметы быта наших пращуров.
