The upper cover and body walls of the mill structure, located to the south of the mill no. 1, rising on masonry rubble stone, were destroyed, and the grinding area, water tower and a part of the water arc, which remained at the foundation level, have survived to the present day. It is understood from the remaining wall traces that the grinding area was rectangular in plan. Access to the space is provided by the entrance opening on the west façade. There is a water tower to the east of the grinding area, some of which has survived to the present day. The interior of the tower is now plastered with concrete. Water is carried to the tower by the water arc in the east (Picture 2), (Picture 3) There is a grinding stone belonging to the mill 8.00m west of the grinding place (Picture 4). The mill, which used cut stone, rubble stone and cas mortar as construction material, has lost its function and is not used today.
