Undershot watermill with a 7-metre wheel placed on the corner of the mill in a partially wooden side wall. The entire complex consists of the mill, a farm with living quarters, large tithe barn, bakehouse, pigsty and chapel. The construction bears witness to a rich past, including marl bands and bacon layers. The Uffelse ban or forced mill probably dates from the 13th or 14th century. The mill has a turbulent past. There were regular conflicts about the ban, the price or quality of the ground material and about the weir height. In the 19th century, the mill and the living quarters were partially destroyed by fire. Traces of this can still be seen in the woodwork of the roof construction. Originally, the walls consisted of brick, alternating with marl bands or bacon layers. This construction method gave the mill a special appearance and pointed to a rich past. Miller Van Esser had the mill restored, whereby the brickwork was carried out in normal brick bond. After the redemption of the weir or water rights in 1961, the part at and upstream of the mill was canalized. The natural meandering course was changed into an unimaginative stream. The locks of the mill were demolished, the stream was relocated and the mill wheel was filled in, causing the water wheel to hang on dry land. Because of this canalization, the water wheel no longer received water and the millstones had to be driven by a diesel engine in order to be able to grind. This situation continued until 1983. After that, the milling company was shut down. The redemption of the water rights meant the end of this once so beautiful and beautifully situated proud water mill.

The Uffel water mill in Haler has a rich history dating back at least to the 15th century. The unique location in the characteristic and peaceful surroundings of Hunsel and the complex itself ensure that the historic atmosphere is still perceptible.

A nice place for a stopover on bike rides or hikes. The dining room is open from Whitsuntide to October from 12:00 to 19:00.
