Operation of an apple mill

In the courtyard is an old horse-powered apple mill , including the wheel, which weighs around 700 kg. Mills of this type remained in use until the beginning of the 20th century. The granite trough from another apple mill can be found in Lanloup's castle garden. Formerly operated and restored apple mills can also be found in Germany (e.g. Ehrenburgertal apple mill)
