The so-called Reichelsche Schleif was a grinding mill driven directly by pure water power, which was probably built around 1275. It was not shut down until 1988 and was extensively restored and renovated in the following years. In 2006, the property became the property of the town of Lauf and has since been used as a museum grinding mill - after extensive restoration.
To the left of the mill is the Jewish Tower, which was first mentioned around 1430 and was part of the medieval city wall. The tower probably also served for defensive purposes.
