Daugbjerg Water mill
appears in old records in the year 1611, but there are indications that it is
somewhat older. In 1631, the papers state that a new outer wheel is bought -
probably the shovel wheel itself. For hundreds of years, the area's farmers
came to get the grain ground after the harvest.
During the First World War (1914-1918), a turbine was installed in the mill, which supplied electricity to Daugbjerg. It ceased in 1927, but the water mill was still in use until 1950.
There is no longer noisy machinery in the old flint buildings, but the water mill is still standing. It is indeed a historical monument with roots dating back more than 800 years.
In 1991, Ib and Hans Vestergård began the renovation of the mill pond and the rebuilding of the mill in its current form with a new thatched roof, mill wheel, grinder and new pavement around the house.
