Today's Obermühle received its baroque appearance in 1768. A mill already stood at this location in the High Middle Ages, which is also evidenced by the fortifications on the Wetter.

Hiking

Like the younger lower mill, the upper mill, which has existed since the Middle Ages and is located on the arch of the Wetter, belonged to the count or prince. Together with the old brewery, it formed a group of buildings in front of the Obertor north of the now-vanished Schwanensee, which gave the entrance to the city additional flank protection.
Today's main building with a baroque mansard roof was not built until 1768, according to the dating.

With 9 window axes, the Obermühle is one of the largest half-timbered buildings in Lich. The year 1768 has been handed down as the year of construction.
