The Old Mill in Dunaalmás was built amongst the renewed walls of the Turkish-era old mill at the spot where the Danube and the Által brook meet. The carved stone mill has a large terrace overlooking the Danube, a grassy, landscaped garden with a rose arch and a rose garden path, the slopes of Gerecse, the Árpád-era Catholic church and with views of a romantic small island.
On the site of the old miller’s house a new wing has been added to the existing building with a pile foundation, wooden structure and wooden cladding, suggesting the shape of a ship.

The new building offers an architecturally appropriate and inspiring contrast to the historic monument.

The history of the mill dates back to the Turkish empire in the region. The village of Almás was under Turkish rule from 1583 to 1683. The Hungarian-Turkish border between Almás and Füzitő was approximately halfway between the two. In “peaceful times,” the villagers received some favors from the Turks. According to the records, the Dunaalmás mill had already been in operation in the 1620s, and the pasha of Zsámbék gave permission for its construction. Therefore, it is correct to claim that the foundations of today’s mill were laid 400 years ago. The ashlar, which proves the expertise of the stonemasons of that time, is clearly visible from the side of the Által brook. The monograms of the makers can still be found on the stones today.

In the 18th century, four water wheels drove the mill’s grinding equipment. At the beginning of the 20th century, the mill was modernized and rebuilt. At that time, the water wheels were replaced by a water turbine, which can still be seen today. The turbine rotated a V-belt, which in turn rotated a 10-meter-long steel shaft in the attic. The machines of the mill sprung into motion via this shaft and V-belt.

The current owner purchased the building in 1995 and it was rebuilt in its 18th-century style with the help and guidance of historical preservation professionals.
