Exhibition - From stone to castle
The exhibition in the grinding mill tells about the origin of the place as a part of the residence ensemble and about the everyday life of the stone grinders. For more than three hundred years, the wheel of the water mill at the outlet of the Lazy Lake has been turning. From 1749 to 1857, skilled hands cut, polished and polished stones for the princes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, producing decorative stone slabs, sarcophagi, monument pedestals and fireplace surrounds from granite boulders weighing several tons. For the most part, small decorative objects were created by hand from precious stones and local minerals.
Today, the historic water mill with undershot water wheel is a museum with a functioning demonstration plant for the processing of large natural stones.
