The Grabenöle is a listed oil mill from the 16th century. It stands in a small clearing near Lüterswil/SO in Switzerland. The Mülibach, which drives the large water wheel, flows through the romantic valley. With a fascinating mechanism of wooden cogwheels and shafts, various works are operated. For the production of oil, these are the roller mill, the furnace with agitator and the wedge press, where the nuts and seeds are crushed, heated and then pressed out. Other works can be done with the bone pounder and the hemp and flax grater.

After decades of decay, the plant was extensively restored in 1987 to 1988. Since then, it has been put back into regular operation by the Öliverein Lüterswil.

Anyone who would like to breathe in the scent of freshly ground nut kernels and watch the almost extinct craft of oil pressing should definitely plan a visit to the Grabenöle. If you then also buy a small bottle of freshly pressed oil, this visit will remain in good memory for a long time.
