Kriemhild Mill Xanten

During the day of the open monument you can climb and visit the mill tower.
A great experience👌

The Kriemhildmühle is the only mill in the Lower Rhine that is operated daily.
The mill was built as part of the Xanten city fortifications in the form of a watchtower and defense tower (known as a bear windmill) at the end of the 14th century. The towers, which were badly damaged in the Thirty Years 'War, which lasted until 1648, served as living quarters for city officials until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. At that time, the Kriemhildmühle was known as the night watch tower because the city's night watchmen were quartered there.
