The oldest surviving building said to be 400 years old

With the oldest surviving building said to be 400 years old, the whole complex of Newmills Corn and Flax Mills is an interesting reminder of a stage in the industrial development of Ireland, which has given way to a more sophisticated, but far less fascinating technology.

Experience the pleasure of seeing one of the largest waterwheels in Ireland in action as it drives the machinery of the corn mill.
