The Herrenmühle or so-called New Mill was built in 1616 by Duke Christian as the second stately mill in Celle after the Rathsmühle in 1378 . It operated until 1900. Apartments were rented in the building by the first half of the 20th century at the latest. In 1940, a motor vehicle room was installed in the southern part of the building for the Celle water and shipping office , which is accessible on the east side via a central segment arched door.

The Herrenmühle is an important testimony to the history of the city of Celle, both as a manorial foundation and in terms of architectural history. In addition, it shapes the cityscape through its location on the Aller. For these reasons, the former mill was protected as a single monument on October 21, 1988.

On the side of the Herrenmühle facing the Unteraller, high water marks from March 1881 and January 1918 bear witness to the floods of the century in the history of the floods in Celle, which were statistically expected every 100 years .
