history
The first written mention of a water mill on the site of today's mill comes from the late 16th century. Until the 20th century, grain was ground at the same place with the help of water power. It was not until 1929 that the water mill, which had been modernized several times, was shut down, as it was no longer competitive with large machine-driven mills. In 1977 the mill was restored and put back into operation. It is still powered by water power.
