Bryne
Fotland mill was built in 1845, and it is idyllically located by Fotlandsfossen, the largest waterfall on Jæren. The restored buildings are today a museum and exhibition space for art.
This industrial mill was built in 1845, at a site where grain had been ground since the 13th century. The new mill was placed above two existing mills, and a new water intake was made so that the same water flow could be utilised three times before being released into the Håelven river. At the same time, one of Jæren's first industrial foundries was established in the mill. Fotland Mill was in operation until 1968.
In 1995, the mill was reopened as a museum. Permanent features include the video presentation "The grain gave life", and there are varying art exhibitions. View the complete programme here.
Fotland mill is located by Fotlandsfossen falls, at the intersection of road Fv 206 and Fv 210, about 6 km from Bryne.
