The Niestener Mühle was built on lordly land in the 16th century by order of the Bamberg prince-bishop. The mill had a pond , a 1.5 day meadow and a pasture . In 1593 the mill was sold for 600 guilders . The purchase price was paid in three installments of 200 guilders each in the years 1594–1596. In addition, half a gulden was paid annually for Michaelmas and a carnival hen for the episcopal box .
In 1801 the mill was described as "a small grinding mill with a house, barn, and an overshot passage which is driven by the Dorschbrünnlein and the Heilbronnen". Milling was stopped in 1920. From 1925 onwards it served as a hiker's pension for several decades. In the 1930s it was run by Victor Staeffler. Today it is a private residence.
