Water works

The most attractive site in the Complex is Vuntsov’s water-mill with three different water works – fulling-mill (dashta), felting-mill and primitive water-mill. They are included in a common water-operated system and are located together in one building.

The fulling-mill is the traditional “washing-machine” – economical and effective, sought for and used to this day.
The felting-mill performs the main role in the production of frieze and homespun – materials for traditional men’s and women’s costumes (clothes). The huge wooden hammers produce an impression beyond description.
The primitive water-mill grinds to this day – just as in the distant past. Its maize flour is broadly used to make delicious specialties typical of Zlatograd.
