Some documents trace its existence back to at least the early nineteenth century, and the sawmill remained in operation until 1960. Over time the wooden structure and the mechanisms of wood and iron were altered several times; the Comune of Dimaro then restored it in full, making it usable and working again and giving it back its historic appearance. Inside, an educational route shows the craftsmen's mechanisms, and the panels explaining how it works can also be read when the sawmill is closed.

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
