Tips
The historic watermill, which is also Bad Essen's landmark and adorns the municipal coat of arms, is still in working order today and is occasionally used for milling demonstrations. From May to October, it operates every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The overshot waterwheel has a diameter of five meters.

Unfortunately closed in winter. (although there is enough water at the time) Last time we bought flour that we had ground ourselves.

A few steps up and you'll find yourself at the mill pond. The mill wheel is turning, albeit slowly.BUT: There are mill days when you can purchase milled flour here—and, of course, watch the milling process.
