Buildings

The Hofmühle in Brönninghausen was built as a water mill on the Windwehe in 1785 . Around 1820 the miller began buying grain to sell it on as flour. Around 1850, the surrounding farmers were given the right to stow , so that there were disputes with the millers. In 1938 the mill was expanded to its current state. In 2005, operations ceased, but the technical equipment was retained for demonstration purposes.
