The Falkenstein watermill in the center of Eiserfey is mentioned in a wisdom by Vussem from 1597 as a forced mill for Vussem.

The owner of the mill has lovingly designed the property with outbuildings and a beautiful garden and supplemented it with ancient objects such as carts and cart wheels.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced far back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, it was possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements using a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grain into grain or press oil from fruit.

There are essentially two drive variants for water mills:

* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or

* The water flow is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades. This design ensures greater efficiency due to natural gravity.
