The Trittau Watermill

Today, the Trittau Watermill is a cultural center and, with its mill pond, shapes the local character of the Trittau community. The historic mill is open during the market – you can visit the grinding mechanism, the rooms, and the interior. The market is organized by the Elke Baum Event Agency, which manages a number of similarly profiled arts and crafts markets in Northern Germany.
