Cselley Mill

The Cselley Mühle is a former mill and today's culture and action center in the municipality of Oslip in the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district in Burgenland . The building is a listed building .

history

A mill belonging to the Minorite Monastery in Eisenstadt is first mentioned in 1515. Paul Weletits from St. Margarethen bought the mill in the 19th century. His grandson's widow married Karl Cselley, whose descendants ran her until the 1960s.

The ceramist Robert Schneider (1950–2019) and the painter Sepp Laubner opened the Cselley-Mühle action center in the mill in 1976, which has since been used for art campaigns and events of all kinds. At the opening, the statement by the then Minister of Education, Fred Sinowatz , caused a sensation : "I don't know what I'm going to open, but I'm going to open it."

On 20./21. August 1977 a legendary pop festival with Hot Chocolate took place on the grounds of the mill in front of 5,000–7,000 visitors.

architecture

The Cselley Mill is a walled group of buildings north of the village. On the upper floor of the residential building there is an eight-axis arcade with slender columns facing the courtyard. In the courtyard there is a remarkable dovecote on a stone pillar. Among other things, it was restored in 1976.
