Abandoned mill

An abandoned old wooden mill in the wilderness of the Saratov region. No information about its previous owners, years of construction and operation was found. In general, the building is in very good condition and preservation. I looked at photos of this object taken eight years ago - almost nothing has changed, only a few machines with company plates have disappeared. And so, the mill is in the wilderness, the road is very bad, so the flow of tourists here is very small.

Thanks to the surviving machines, we can roughly guess how the production process went. The grain was loaded into bunkers on the first floor, then lifted to the third floor with the help of special chutes with blades. And then it was fed from top to bottom, first into millstones, and then into different machines where the flour was sifted and divided into parts. And the finished product was delivered to the first floor.
