The Braunsmühle is located within the town area on a millstream of the Brend (river) and is protected as a historical monument. The current building of the Braunsmühle dates from the 18th century. Until 1890, the mill had two mill wheels. In the 1970s, grain was still ground here. From 2009, the town of Bischofsheim took over the mill. From 2016 to 2020, the mill was extensively renovated. The new guest room houses a restaurant.
