Børkop Watermill - milling & Farbror Svends Collection
Surrounded by the scenic nature of East Jutland you find Børkop Watermill (Børkop Mølle), a fully-functioning watermill complete with waterwheel and millstones that sits next to ”Farbror Svends Samling” (Uncle Svend’s Collection) where they exhibit agricultural and artisanal craft tools as well as domestic utensils from olden days.
Børkop Watermill dates back to the sixteenth century. The fully-functioning watermill complete with waterwheel and millstones still grinds oats and flour.
