The Ophover Mill is an old water mill in Wegberg-Forst, where grain used to be ground.

Today there is a restaurant with a beer garden in the rooms. The old grinder is still preserved.

The Ophov Mill is a water mill with an undershot water wheel.

The Ophover Mühle is located in Forst in the middle town of Wegberg. The mill building near the Wegberger school and sports center is on the left side of the Beeckbach. In front of the mill is a large mill pond, the water level of which is 64 m above sea level. NN lies.

The Ophov Mill probably dates from the 14th century. Its name goes back to the noble family "von Ophoven" who had their farm on the site of the nearby Motte and operated the mill. In 1639 Tewis (Mathaeus) Vell was the miller of the Ophov mill (dat Müllerken uff der Freyheit). In 1826, the mill directory shows Johann Wilhelm Menz's widow as the owner. The mill was a grain mill with two grinding gears and an undershot water wheel. From 1867 it was a water and steam mill, so it also worked with a steam engine drive. It was the last mill in Wegberg that still worked with water power. It was decommissioned in 1965.
