The Mill 

The Mill is more than just a building, it is a place of power and transformation. Nestled between rolling hills, winding roads, forest and lakes, this place has all the makings of a fairytale. On the grounds you'll find the main guest house, a three stories building with a whimsical kind of architecture, reminiscent of medieval timber frame constructions. Next to it there's the old refurbished stone wall barn, which now houses our kitchen and dining hall. A few years ago, Emil built a beautiful space for yoga, dancing, ceremonies, and all kinds of creative workshops. The Shala is the place where all such activities happen. Surrounding these buildings we have the park, the river,  a shamanic inspired wonderland,  and The Path.
In each of these spaces, whether inside one of the buildings or outside we've endeavoured to create little nooks and crannies, places where you can put down a blanket and soak in the sun, or sit in quiet contemplation among the trees, or feel the joy and lightness in swinging from a simple swing hung from a beautiful Alder tree. In the guest house you can sit together in front of the fireplace either in comfy hard-to-get-up-from sofas in the lounge or on Persian carpets and cushions in the veranda. Either way there's plenty of places to be together or alone.

Back in the old days of horse and cart, this land was full of mills grinding the corn of the farmers to flour. Nowadays there are very few functional mills left. After the War in 1945, the Mill became state-owned and stayed that way until sometime in the 1960s where it was sold off. The new owner transformed the corn mill into a saw mill and for a few years that's the way it functioned. Later the mill was converted to a Watermill, that is a mill that uses hydropower. Then in 1995, the present owner made a major investment and spent the next 5 years rebuilding the whole guest house, and the barn as well as landscaping the grounds.
