The mill is a typical example of the historical use of water power during the time of traditional agriculture. The quiet location makes it a worthwhile destination - definitely worth a stop.

The Bennauer Mill is a former oil mill on the Pfaffenbach. The hamlet and its surroundings exude pure idyll. A very nice place to take a short break.

Bennauer Mühle was a historic mill in the Westerwald region of Germany, first mentioned in 1554. It operated as an oil and grain mill, but was closed around 1900, and the building burned down in 1932.
