Josephine Mill Museum - Newlands, Cape Town

The Josephine Mill Museum in Newlands, Cape Town, is a beautifully restored watermill with deep historical significance. Established in 1840, it is one of the last remaining authentic water mills in the Cape Town area and offers a glimpse into Cape Town’s early industrial era. Situated along the Liesbeek River, the mill was initially used to grind wheat into flour using water power. Today, the Josephine Mill functions as a museum and heritage site, showcasing how traditional milling methods were carried out, and highlighting the vital role it played in Cape Town’s agricultural economy.

Visitors can enjoy watching the ancient water wheel in action, explore exhibitions related to milling and its historical importance, and learn about Cape Town's industrial history. Adjacent to the mill, there is a café offering freshly baked goods made from locally sourced flour, maintaining the tradition of the site.
