The Waterwheel Mill is located in Areosa, an area within the municipality of Viana do Castelo. Specifically situated on Rua das Boucinhas, it is nestled in an environment that combines urban proximity with a tranquil retreat, offering an accessible point of interest for those visiting the city and its surroundings.
This ancient waterwheel mill, also known in local history as Moinho do Inácio (Inácio's Mill), represents a testament to the milling activity that once characterized the region. Its structure, which integrated a single-water system, was already in operation in the year 1837. Its enduring presence reveals a deep connection with the traditions and evolution of the Viana do Castelo community.
After a careful restoration process, completed in 2014, the mill was rehabilitated and the surrounding area transformed into a welcoming space for leisure and socialising. The adjacent land is now a peaceful spot, ideal for contemplation and relaxation. The diverse nature that surrounds it contributes to an atmosphere of serenity, inviting a relaxing break from the day.
