'Remarkable' is the least you could say about this unique location. The buildings are almost filled to the brim with all sorts of antique trinkets. In some places, it almost resembles a museum...
The history of this castle mill dates back to the early thirteenth century. However, at the end of the sixteenth century, the mill fell into disrepair, partly due to the religious wars that raged during this period. It wasn't until around 1630 that the court mill was rebuilt. The construction of the watermill, this time made of durable wood with a thatched roof, took almost eight years. Barely thirty years later, it was forced to be rebuilt again, this time in brick and with a slate roof. This construction would last for over 200 years.
At the end of the 19th century, the need for reconstruction arose again. The current buildings largely date from this period. The entire mill complex was built in the same style and consists of the main mill building and the adjacent miller's house. Behind this are the stables, the attics of which served as accommodation for the millers' servants.
The last miller stopped milling in 1963. Until then, the mill was used as a baker's pumping station, a farm pumping station, and for private consumption. The watermill has been idle since then and has been remarkably well preserved (except for the water wheel itself, which is missing several wooden paddles).
