This old mill dates from the late 19th century. The original gristmill, a five-story brick building, is located at the rear of the property and was built before 1909. The mill was powered by a water wheel, which has since disappeared. Only a fragment of the water wheel's wall remains behind the building. The business was later expanded with a more modern mill at the front of the property. This 'new' gristmill was powered by steam turbines.

The old watermill, in particular, offers a striking image of a 19th-century industrial grain mill. Besides the waterwheel and its drive mechanism, the building's ensemble of silos and grinding machinery is beautifully preserved. However, the likelihood of this remaining the case is rapidly diminishing. A partial roof collapse has already damaged the attic floor, but water infiltration is also increasingly eroding the wooden vaults of the floors below.
