Tips from the Community
The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.

Originally it was a classic water mill. Today it is decommissioned as a grain mill, but still possesses complete milling technology (formerly with a turbine). Since about 1928/1936 it has been operated electrically. The preserved water wheel (an undershot Straub wheel) still turns occasionally for demonstration purposes or lies in the flow.

I tried to drive around the lake away from paved roads, but unfortunately kept ending up in dead ends. Therefore, the best way to drive around the lake is on the existing road!

Most of the lakes in the Ruppiner Land region are worth a visit. They are surrounded by pine forests and, in good weather, reflect the typical North German sky.

Delicious homemade cakes and tarts. The ice cream comes from the Berlin-based "Eis Engelchen" factory. Open weekends only.
