Kösti vesiveski

Kösti mill on Oja road in Viljandi sits on the dam of Kösti millpond, on the Uueveski brook, and a mill has probably worked here since the late 18th century. The older part of today's building likely dates from the second half of the 19th century; in the 1930s parts were raised to two storeys and an engine room added on the river side. After the Second World War it housed a coffee and kama factory, the roasted grain flour beloved in Estonia. Today the protected building runs as the small Kösti hydroelectric plant.
