Historic Horstmühle Monument

lovingly renovated by a development association with seating - ideal for a break

The residential area Horstmühle appeared for the first time in the Schmettauschen maps in the years 1778 and 1786 with a water mill that belonged to the Baruth estate. The local register from 1858 lists a residential building and two outbuildings for the dwelling place, including a water-powered flour mill. The name Horstmühle appeared for the first time in 1861. Ten years later it consisted of the mill establishment with a residential building. In the second half of the 18th century, a main building was built, which was equipped with several tiled stoves around 1850. Various doors and banisters were altered in the early 20th century. Around 1900, a farm building and an ice cellar were added. In 1929 the residential area came to the community of Lynow. The property was used until the 1980s. In 1950, the building housed a hiking and tourism station of the Committee for Tourism and Hiking, which was managed from Luckenwalde. The building has been derelict since the 1980s.The mill building no longer exists in the 21st century. The main house, a farm building and an ice cellar are listed buildings. A support association has been committed to its preservation since 2007 and the ensemble opens the building on selected days, for example on the day of the open monument. In 2009/2010, work was carried out to secure the stable roof, and in 2011 construction of a rest hut began, which was completed in 2012. A hiker's hut was built in 2015. Further renovation was hampered by legal disputes between the Solms-Baruth princely family and the city.Source de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horstm%C3%BChle_(Baruth/Mark)
