Just across the border from where I live there is this old watermill called the Haarmühle. It was built in 1619 on the spot of an older mill from 1331. Well worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood of Alstätte, Germany, near the Dutch border.

The mill is still operational, but only started up occasionally for tourists. It is picturesque from all angles, I will be going back to get some more pictures when the light is better.
Here's a picture of the gear box inside this watermill (repost):

It's all wood, and almost all connections are mortise-and-tenon. Some very nice old engineering there.
