Pålsjö mölla

About the museum

Pålsjö mölla lies at the outlet of the Pålsjöbäcken (stream) into the Öresund and is the only surviving water mill within Helsingborg Municipality. There has been a mill on the site since at least the 1660s. The present building was erected in 1824 by the miller Sven Andersson on the site of an older mill.

The building is half-timbered and consists of a residential section and a mill room with a waterwheel and millstones. In the 1800s an upper floor was added to the dwelling. From 1866 the milling business bought grain, ground it and baked bread for regular customers, and all milling ceased in 1901.

Helsingborg city bought the mill in 1908 when the city acquired the Pålsjö area, and in 1949 it was transferred to Helsingborgs museum. The machinery was repaired in 1949–1950, and since then the mill has been open to the public. Operations are run in cooperation between Helsingborgs museiförening (Helsingborg Museum Association) and Helsingborgs museum.
