    Schowtschickmühle is located on the edge of the Dubringer Moor

      There is even a water wheel on the Mühlgraben, reminiscent of a mill. Otherwise, the property looks a bit unusual. Chickens, guinea fowl, ducks and geese enjoy a wonderful free range. If you come from Wittichenau, you could get the impression that this is the end of a private property.

        At this point, the shortcut to the lake should not be taken! A nice animal warden informed us not to leave the wide paths. This will only disturb the currently breeding birds! NSG! These signs should / could be placed a little more clearly and intensively.
        So don't leave the path!

          Historically valuable.
          Kern around 1500 (mill); around 1900 (barn)
          Irregular, open courtyards with one- and two-storey residential and farm buildings, some half-timbered, the gabled roofs formerly thatched. The one-storey water mill with an overshot water wheel, driving the grinding and stamping mechanism, probably became a residential building with a basement extension, a two-storey building with a pitched roof and an attached vaulted cellar in the 19th century. Massive ground floor with hallway (stove and oven), living room and bedroom, utility room, half-timbered upper floor with hallway with single-flight staircase, bedrooms and chambers, room height 2.20 m attic not developed, highly endangered.

          Mill technology: free weir channel, water channel, overshot mill wheel. Schrotgang consisting of Schrotrad, comb wheels, millstones, hopper, suction system. Flour aisle out of service since 1950. 4 millet mashers, out of service since 1950. Water wheel and gutters reconstructed. Stable building, two stories, 1907. Stable building and wagon shed.

            The mill now looks rather deserted. It's a shame, because it's actually a beautiful building.
