Pisão de Paredes do Rio

Montalegre

Description

The water engine leverages the power of running water, functioning as a saw, fulling-mill and grinding of woollen fabrics.
The water puts into operation the sledgehammers that landed the webs of wool for making the famous “Burel”, the shepherds’ cloaks. Featured for its curious thatched roof, reminiscent of Celtic huts.
