  • Subiect: „The historical monument recorded in the National Inventory of Immovable Heritage, includes 22 watermills, with a horizontal mill-wheel. The same list of historical monuments includes 􀏐ive more sites presenting complexes of water-driven mills from the same county. Located on the valley of Rudărica river, they are constructions known in the same shape, since the beginning of the 20th century; many of them are certainly restorations of older mills, dating from the 18th-19th century. The rich hydrographic network going through the settlements from Banat and Oltenia, and the isolation of villages on roads with difficult access determined an intensive use of natural resources, in order to ensure the processing of agricultural products necessary for the daily food of people and their cattle. In 1874, Rudăria had 51 mills, and there were 339 mills with a horizontal wheel in the 16 villages of the Almăj Land. The walls of the mill house are made of beech tree trunks, cut into thick planks or girders with a rectangular section, joined at corners, right-angled. Covers are also made of shingles, as well as of ridged iles, with two triangle-shaped tympans. Although there are many resemblances between mills in terms of materials, processing manner, sizes and proportions, each mill has a special feature which differentiates it from the others. Visitors are taken aback by the sight of each mill. These are objects taken out from nature, conditioned by nature. The mill using system cannot be compared to that of a single mill owner. In this way, no part/amount of the obtained 􀏐lour is paid to anyone. This method is characteristic to a very old type of economic and social organization, practiced in all rural traditional communities, where the community was the dominant power. The cultural value of this complex of mills for pre-industrial rural civilization and the concern to preserve installations in an operational condition, as well as the natural site, determined the initiation and application of a Project for the rehabilitation of mills’ wooden buildings. The action was organized in 2000 and carried out in 2001, by a professional authority recognized at European level – The ASTRA Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization from Sibiu. European funds through the Project named EuroArt, sustained the activities conducted by the experts from the museum and the practical skills of local craftsmen.”
