    "... and because it is most beautiful here, the English journalist and world traveler Sir Henry built a hunting lodge in Bardenitz near Treuenbrietzen in 1900. From the tower room he had a good view of the pond and watermill in the immediate vicinity."

      Somewhat remote but worth seeing mill whose water wheel is still in operation.

        According to tradition, there must have been a copper mill in Bardenitz at the beginning of the 18th century. In a document, the paper miller Martin Glaucke from Saxony applied for the construction of a paper mill above the grinding mill mentioned. However, Glaucke was not able to build the mill himself, and instead ceded the concession to the papermaker Johann Christian Greger from Schlalach on May 19, 1724. He had a house built in the first half of the 18th century; create the pond in 1725. The building was supplemented by a drying shed which, according to the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and Archaeological State Museum (BLDAM), was built between 1725 and 1800. Around 1800 a servants' house and a toilet house were added. In 1852 the watercourse of the pond was changed to the form it still has in the 21st century. In 1859 the master miller Christlieb Hermann from Hennickendorf bought the ensemble. He had the old mill building demolished and a new building built in 1860 to grind grain from then on. The existing building, in which Gregor had previously cooked clay, became a residential building. At a later date, a Pommerenke family took over the property. Between 1850 and 1860 the so-called Jägerhaus was built north of the house. Around 1900 two stables were added. In the time of the GDR, the LPG Bardenitz used the property, crushed grain there and produced feed mixtures. In 1984, an interior designer bought the mill and converted it into a residential building with holiday apartments by 1990. In 2012, the hydroelectric power plant at the mill was renewed, and it has been generating electricity ever since.
