Kärnebygds Kvarn och Såg

Kärnebygds Kvarn och Såg is a well-preserved gristmill and sawmill which harks back to the 18th century. It’s situated right by the picturesque Lake Tjärnesjön. The place is well worth a stop. There’s a small museum, and as an added bonus, the surroundings are gorgeous – perfect for an evening stroll. This historic place was built sometime in the early 18th century where people came to get their grain ground into flour for a small fee. The sawmill came up about a hundred years later. In 1914, an electric generator was installed that was powered by the saw turbines. In the 1960s, the place was closed down. Today, however, you will find tables and benches where you can take a well-earned coffee break. You can find out more about the history of the place at a small exhibition hall. As an added attraction, right next door, you’ll find Viktors Affärshus – a cozy farm shop which even has accommodation for the night.
