History and description
The mill was built in 1707 as a grinding and wood cutting mill. The main house - with the arched extension to accommodate the mill wheel - the polygonal closed mill system was massively renovated in the 19th century. Nevertheless, a large part of the historical structure has been preserved in the mill and the outbuildings.
