3. Granuddens skvaltkvarn
One of the few remaining mills is located on the road to Kvikkjokk, next to the northern beach of Lake Skalka.
It was built in the mid-19th century and was used until the Second World War. The mill was thoroughly restored in 1981 and the last renovation was completed in 2006.
In the past all villages had a mill where the farmers could grind their flour.  Today, the Granudden mill is one of the few mills still operating in Norrbotten. 
On special occasions you can see the mill in operation, but you can visit it at any time. The door is always opened. You will also find a fireplace here, which usually also has firewood.
