The water mill in Ginučiai attracts both those who want to swim and admire this protected object, and those who want to get acquainted with the peculiarities of the mill's technology.
The Ginučiai water mill was built in the second half of the 19th century by the landowner Gimžauskas from Linkmenys, who invited several farmers to help. However, not everyone was satisfied with this mill, because it flooded the fields cultivated by the peasants, which led to local peasant and Gimžauskas courts. After Gimžauskas death, the entire mill went to the village. During the war, many of the surrounding mills were burned or demolished, so people came from the most remote areas to grind grain here. The paintings by the folk artist Petras Gaižutis hanging on the walls in the mill premises tell of various stories and legends related to the mill. Around 1968, when the mill's equipment broke down, the mill stopped working, and in 1978 the Ignalina Tourist Base bought the mill and began repairing it. Currently, the mill is protected by the state and belongs to the Aukštaitija National Park and Labanoras Regional Park Directorate.
