Chrysavgi Watermill and Stone Bridge
In Chrysavgi, the Great Bridge of 1854, alongside its adjacent traditional watermill, narrates a compelling story. The 9 meter-high bridge with a 14-meter span was funded by the bandit Nikolaos Zambros from Polyneri, Grevena, as an act of gratitude to the villagers who provided him safe refuge during his pursuit by Ottoman troops. Beside it stands the restored traditional watermill of 1860, which had been destroyed in 1944 by German occupation forces due to the patriotic slogans that were carved on its walls. Today, both structures stand as living monuments to a time when water powered daily life and production.
Set among flowing waters and plane trees, the site has now become a peaceful place for walking and remembrance.
