The brick chimney shaft forms a freestanding construction within the old mill yard that is partly surrounded by the former mill buildings. With its height of 21.5 metres, the chimney towers strongly above the rural industrial buildings next to the mill stream. The chimney starts on a high square base with a rectangular recess on each side. The substructure was finished by a stepped, projecting brick cornice.
