Malacca Sultanate Watermill (Malay: Kincir Air Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, lit. 'Malacca Malay Sultanate Watermill') is a replica watermill located along the bank of Malacca River in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia, which was built in 2007 and completed in March 2008.[1] It is the first and largest watermill in Malaysia, standing at a height of 13 meters and was built based on Islamic technology found in Syria and China.[2] The concrete structure is what remains nowadays, the wooden wheel is not present anymore and the attraction has fallen into decay.
