The Kremer Mühle is a memorial in Simonskall, Hürtgenwald municipality, Düren district.

The smelter Simon Kremer built the Kremer-Hof, the so-called castle, in 1643. The mill was built in 1622. She worked until the 1920s. After that, it was used to generate electricity for street lighting and the house.

It is a quarry stone building on an almost square floor plan with a hipped roof . The walls have small wooden stick windows. There is a small extension under the towed pent roof . The suspension of the overshot mill wheel and the upper ditch are still there.

The former mill now serves as a residential building.
