history
The Myllendonk Castle Mill was first mentioned in 1683. The mill was a wage and oil mill and was operated under-cut. The mill stood east of the castle and was also called Armenmühle , Vieten Mühle and Millendonker Ölmühle . In 1763 the mill was expanded to become a grinding mill for grain and shared the ban district with the Klippertzmühle . In 1856 Heinrich Viehof acquired the castle mill that he had previously leased. In 1866 he installed a steam engine and expanded the mill. Now the mill was wheat , rye , buckwheat and Lohe grind. But an oil press , a bone punch and a frame saw were also operated. In 1876 the property burned down completely and was rebuilt. In the meantime, the owner Viehof was able to buy the Klippertzmühle and continue his business. In 1940 the castle mill was equipped with roller mills. In 1963 the mill was stopped.
