The loft of the mill was expanded in 2001. Here you see now old crafts from Waltersdorf and surrounding area.
For instance an old crop planer, a loom and a straw cutting machine. But also a beautiful pram and a children's chair from the early days.�

The village history is the progress from farmering to weaving village and from industry to recreational village.�

The living and working way of the linen weaver around 1800 is being depicted at the "weaving room".
