What would it be like to step inside an old watermill and sense the stories of the past? Weave your own flower crown, taste local delicacies, or embark on a lantern-lit night adventure in the twilight? We have designed various ready-made experience packages that immerse you in the atmosphere of Venejoki Mill, allowing you to create your own memories and stories!

The experience packages include program-related services, guided tours, access to the watermill facilities, and customized catering services. Please also inquire about the possibility of staying at the nearby Venejoki Piilo accommodation village. All programs can be arranged in English, and some activities are accessible.

The Story of the Mill

The story of the Venejoki Mill begins in the famine years of the 1800s, traveling through the golden age of mill operations to the present day. At the mill, traditions, craftsmanship, and skills have carried the residents and workers of different eras through challenging times.

During the The Story of the Mill experience, we will enjoy coffee in the cozy atmosphere of the water mill while listening to stories about the mill and village life throughout different periods. Around a long table, we will savor local North Karelian delicacies alongside our coffee.

Night at the Mill

Have you heard stories about the skulls of Venejoki, the wilderness, or encounters from ancient mill journeys? The Venejoki Mill invites you into the darkness of the night, to the shelter of the water mill, to hear tales of powerful experiences from the past.
