Information

The Great Mill (Polish: Wielki Młyn) was built on man-made island in late 14th century by the Teutonic Order. The water-powered mill was in use up until the end of World War II, producing as much as 200 tonnes of flour daily in 1939. The building suffered major damage by the end of the war and it was not until the 60’s when the mill was finally restored. Since then the mill has had numerous and diverse functions housing a communist Pewex shop, a dance club, an arcade game salon and a shopping centre. In December 2016 local authorities chose to transfer Gdansk Amber Museum to the now disused mill and since late 2018 the building is being restored and adapted to the needs of the museum. The Amber Museum is scheduled to reopen in the new location in mid-2021.
