Mill of Nibur

In 1895, the largest mill in Europe at that time was built by Herman Nibur on the territory of the Mennonite colony of Shenvize.

Herman Nibur inherited the business from his father and merged it with the capital of his father-in-law Jacob Dik, allowing them to develop their flour milling business. From 1853, the company "Nibur and Co." exported flour to Turkey, Greece, and Egypt.

The first mills of Niebuhr in Shenwize began operating in 1882. In 1893, after visiting America, Herman Nibur started building a new mill. His father-in-law was responsible for the design and construction of the project. This mill started operating in 1895 and was the fifth on the count.

The architectural design of the facades is executed in brick style with elements of "Jugendstil".

After the end of World War I, all the mills of Nibur and Dik were nationalized. The building of Herman Nibur mill is a monument of industrial architecture of the late 19th century.
