The Rimburg mills are former water mills on the German and Dutch side of the Wurm with undershot water wheels in the area of the city of Übach-Palenberg and Rimburg.
The Rimburg mills are located on the right and left side of the Wurm, on Bruchhausener Strasse, near Rimburg Castle in the town of Übach-Palenberg. The Wurm is the border river between Germany and the Netherlands.
The first known documentary mention of the Rimburg mill goes back to 1543. The mill stands directly in front of the farm yard of the impressive Rimburg Castle. The Rimburg mill had two water wheels. The mill building from the early 19th century is now used for residential purposes.
On the opposite, Dutch side of the worm was an oil mill, which also belonged to Rimburg Castle. It was built in the second half of the 16th century. In 1880 it underwent a thorough renovation and a switch to turbine drive. It too has long been silent and is now a residential building.
