The Mosėdis Water Mill, located at Salantai St. 2 in Mosėdis, is an important Lithuanian cultural heritage site, valued for its architectural, technological, and landscape significance. Built in 1792, this two-story mill with stone masonry walls and a tiled roof has preserved its authentic interior and technological equipment. During restoration in 1978, the mill was adapted into a museum, where various exhibits from the Vaclovas Intas Stone Museum are now displayed, ranging from paleontological specimens to rock fragments. The mill is included in the Register of Cultural Heritage and is a state-protected site.

The Mosėdis Water Mill, situated at Salantai Street 2 in Mosėdis, attracts tourists with its historical, architectural, and technological value. This two-story building, constructed in 1792, features a unique stone masonry façade, a tiled roof, and wooden ornamented window shutters. During the 1978 restoration under the project by V. Guogis, the mill was adapted into a museum that now houses the Vaclovas Intas Stone Museum collection. Here, visitors can see various mineral and paleontological finds, Lithuanian minerals, ancient millstones, and even stones formed within
the human body. The surroundings of the water mill are equally impressive—the area includes a preserved dam, channel, retaining wall, and a restored wooden water wheel. This is a perfect place to explore authentic Lithuanian architecture and culture. The mill spaces have been adapted for museum activities, with specially designed exhibition halls, auxiliary rooms, and a guest room with a kitchenette. The entire Mosėdis Water Mill has been included in the Register of Immovable Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Lithuania as a state-protected site since 2005.
