history
_II_HDR.jpg)
The Krassacher mill was first mentioned in 1286 as "muelswien da ze Krazza". Other names are recorded with "mul zu Crassach" from 1422 and "(Krassach with the) Schaumbergschen mule" from 1520. The latter mentions information that the mill was owned by the von Schaumberg family at the latest at the beginning of the early modern period . From the (late) Middle Ages, however, hardly any significant historical facts have survived.
In 1799 reports were made that the mill was being rebuilt. The two mill wheels were staggered on two floors and drove two gears , one for grinding grain and one for an oil press. Another water wheel was used for a cutting passage in an outbuilding. In the 19th century the property consisted of the mill building, stables , two barns , an oven , the courtyard and an apiary .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the outbuilding with the cutting mill was demolished and in 1925 the mill was converted into a power station with a cross- flow turbine . The mill wheels also disappeared. Today the mill is a private residence.
architecture
The mill building consists of the massive ground floor made of sandstone blocks and the half-timbered floor above, which is stiffened with St. Andrew's crosses . The stones in the foundation walls of the main building and the outbuildings come from Niesten Castle, which was demolished in 1747 . A two-storey gable roof closes the mill at the top. At the edge of the Mühlenhof, which stands in a depression, there is an old linden tree as a courtyard tree.
