The Princely Middle Mill in Detmold is a former water mill and today part of the Lippe State Museum . The building has been registered as a monument since May 17, 1985.

History and architecture

As early as 1420, a mill was mentioned in a document at the bone brook location . The mill is shown on a copper engraving by Matthäus Merian from 1647.

The mill had been a sovereign since the 16th century . At the end of the 18th century it had five water wheels, an oil mill, a bone mill , a boke mill and a silver sheet rolling mill .

The building in its present form was erected between 1826 and 1828 by the master builder Johann Theodor von Natorp . It is an eaves, plastered quarry stone building with two storeys and a crooked hip roof . Zur Ameide, the building has nine window axes and a central door with a portal frame made of ashlar .

The half-timbered mill barn built on the southern gable in 1798 had to be demolished in 1964 because it was dilapidated. The mill was also threatened with demolition at the end of the 1960s; it should give way to a parking lot. The state curator of Westphalia-Lippes opposed the demolition . The Lippe regional association acquired the building from the city in 1970 and renovated it for the state museum. The natural history department was set up here in 1973/74.
