The Rentmühle is on the Neffelbach near Wollersheim in the Düren district .
The mill was overshot and had two courses . With a diameter of 10 m, it had one of the largest water wheels in Europe. A rent mill was the one where the rent (rent) was collected. The pastor of Wollersheim received six Malter grain a year.
The house is used as a residential building.
Monument description
Evidence shows that there have been a number of watermills in the Neffelbachtal since the Middle Ages . The rent mill mentioned above is a lease mill, as the name suggests, but its origins cannot yet be clearly determined today. At the time of secularization , the mill was expropriated and sold to the Reuter family, who were already living there. Today the building complex describes a three-winged courtyard, which is composed as follows: A half-timbered extension was built in front of an 18th century house made of plastered quarry stone with sandstone window walls in the early 20th century. Behind it is a small plastered building from the 19th century. The mill and stables, in half-timbered construction from the 18th century, are attached to this at right angles. The mill system housed in the corner is particularly noteworthy because of its rare completeness, it is still functional today. In the north, half-timbered buildings in turn form the end of the courtyard, at the eastern gable of which a modern hall has been added, without monument value. The courtyard area as well as the front house garden is bordered by a wrought iron fence in the style of the 1920s (Art d'Ecorative).
The mill was registered under No. 14 on May 22, 1984 in the list of monuments of the city of Nideggen . The Mühlengraben is entered in the list of monuments under the numbers 125, 127 and 130.
