Horse Mill

Since the water-driven mills along the small creeks were unable to provide the population with flour in times of drought, the horse mill with its hipped roof was built in 1558. The hillside placement made it possible for horses to enter the upper level directly. On the lower level were the main entrance and grinding mechanism. A gear shaft 8 metres long (26 feet) transferred horse power to the millstone.

In 1681 the roof burnt down in the course of war. It was reconstructed immediately, along with the half-timbered upper level, just as it appears today. Mill operations ceased in 1909. Subsequently the building served a variety of uses, among them as electricity center and as gym. After being renovated in 1990 into a facility seating up to 300, the horse mill has become a popular place for town and club even.
