Ry Mill
Highlight • Monument
'
The information mainly relates to the farmers' duty to use the mill, the miller's duty to repair the bridges, and the miller's right to fish in the adjacent lakes and eel boxes.
In 1881 the grain mill was shut down and a wood mill was built to produce raw materials for paper production. From 1915, the mill's hydropower was also used to generate electricity. In 1917 Ry Mølles Fabrikker was founded with the aim of leasing and operating Ry Mølle's agriculture, eel fishing, wooden shoe production and power station.
In 1977 Ry Mølle's main building and the old main building were converted into residential buildings.
