Seelacken Mill - Museum St. Veit

---

The Seelacken Museum ensemble consists of the museum building, the "Troadkasten" (granary), baking oven, cottage garden, bee exhibit and the Seelacken mill.

The overshot water mill was built in 1990 as the first project on what later became the museum site. Overshot means that the supplied water falls onto the mill wheel from above and is driven in this way (as opposed to undershot).

The 200-year-old Klingelberg mill was able to grind about 3 corns (1 corn = 25-30 kg) of grain per day into fl our, for which it required at least 26 liters of water per second. After it was removed in 1926, the mechanism was used until 1990 in the grain bin of the Großklingelberg estate as an electric house mill.

The fully functional Seelacken mill is operated as a show mill and can be visited during the museum’s opening hours. In 2020 the mill wheel had to be replaced. A student from the wood technology center in Kuchl rebuilt it as his final project. The municipality of St. Veit supported the renovation work with benefits in kind for dismantling and reconstruction.
