The Falkenstein Mill

The mill in Eiserfey is mentioned for the first time in a wisdom from 1597 as a forced mill for Vussem. In addition to the residents from Eiserfey and Vussem, those from Lorbach and Bergheim were also dependent on this mill. After the mill was built in Vollem in 1733, there was tough competition between the millers for customers. The mill, which was named "Falkensteinsmühle" after the miller, is still fully functional today. The water wheel can be seen up close.
