History

From flour mill to wedding, in four scenes

1929 — The Corbins flour mill

Milling here goes back to the 18th century. In 1929 the mill is built as it stands today, using the drop of the canal that runs between Corbins and Torrelameu: a turbine drives every machine by belts, in a building of a basement and three floors.

1980 — The mill falls quiet

By 1980 the machinery had become obsolete and the industry closed.

c. 2000 — It opens again

Twenty years later restoration work began, to open this corner of the land’s heritage to the public. The mill keeps all its parts, from the pipes that carried the wheat to the machines, and can be visited.

The mill

Hall, waterfall, garden and mill

El GranerThe main hall: brick walls and exposed timber trusses, with distinctive lighting. Up to 300 people.
The waterfall and the canalThe garden follows the irrigation canal that once drove the mill’s machinery: the ceremony can be at the foot of the waterfall, and a small bridge leads up to the platform where the nibbles are served.
The gardensLawn under willows and large trees, a terrace, marquees if you want them, a dance floor and a chapel.
The millThe 1929 flour mill, restored with all its parts: the timber machines and pipes, and the roof trusses. It can be visited.
