Facts and practical information

The Schwerin Grinding Mill is an 18th-century grinding mill for processing stones, driven by an undershot water wheel, in Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. After the mill ceased operation, it was converted into a museum display in 1985. The structure is a technical cultural monument.

The grinding mill is located at the outflow of the Lazy Lake in the Ostorf district, near the palace garden of Schwerin Castle. The water wheel uses the 0.5-meter drop in elevation between the water levels of the Lazy and Schwerin lakes. The ensemble includes the former residence of the stone grinder, the Schleifmüllerhaus.
