The Oberlinspher Mühle is a listed watermill right on the nature reserve of the upper reaches of the Linspherbach . It is located at 420  m above sea ​​level in the area of ​​the municipality of Bromskirchen in the Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg .

history

Until 1537, Bromskirchen and Somplar belonged to the Duchy of Westphalia . A border agreement between the Archbishop of Cologne and the Landgrave of Hesse created a new border to the neighboring Hallenberg , in which there was a flour mill . In the last third of the 16th century, the religious struggles between the Kurkölschen Hallenberg and the Protestant Upper Hesse intensified , so that the Bromskirchener needed their own mill. In 1571 the miller Junghenn Steuber from Elbrighausen was allowed to build a mill on the water of the Linsphe and to operate it as an inheritance . In 1885 five residents lived in the mill. This was operated by the Steuber family until the 1960s. Mühlkanal and Mühlteich exist like the water and dam rights to this day and are used to generate electricity with a turbine . The mill has been a conference center since 1988 .

building

The farmstead of the mill is a four-sided courtyard , on the western side of which the residential and mill building erected in the 19th century stands on a stone plinth. Its half-timbered structure is made up of straight, small-dimensioned woods. The mill had an overshot grind . The main building is a cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
