Tips

  • Very nicely restored water mill, is irregularly open on Sundays, plan for it, it's worth it

  • The watermill in Holm is located directly on the Seeve Bridge. The first Holm watermill was probably built by the Winsen bailiff Christoph von Hodenberg, who created a manor from the farming village of Holm in 1567 and likely built a mill right away.
    The Holm Mill is first mentioned in 1615 in a dispute between the miller Tamke from Bendesdorf. During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), the French probably burned down the Holm Mill in November
    1757, but Baron Ludwig Schenk von Winterstedt,
    owner of the Holm manor, had it rebuilt in 1758.
    In the second half of the 19th century, the milling mechanism was completely renovated, so that nothing of the technology from 1758 remains. After the Second World War, the Holmer Mill served as a refugee camp, and grain was only milled occasionally until the mill lay empty and unused in the 1970s.
    Starting in 1977, after a usage agreement was signed between the mill owner and the History and Museum Association, the mill experienced new life and became the nucleus of our association. By Easter 1981, a new water wheel was installed, and a "demonstration" was held on milling days.
    By 1993, the water wheel was replaced for the second time in the association's history,
    this time with a more durable metal structure. Today, the Holmer Mill is used
    for lectures, art exhibitions, concerts, and monthly milling.
