This small mill with its beautiful cottage is very special. It was part of a running water supply system to supply the Château de la Mothe during the 19th century. The mill takes its name from the springs of the “fountain of Saint-Avit”.

As in probably every other profession, there are a few so-called “black sheep” among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. The popular children’s book author Otfried Preußler tells the following short episode in “The Flight into Egypt”:
“And they didn’t even get all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but there was a mill on their way, the monastery mill – they stayed there until the next morning. At first the monastery miller was almost shocked when the k.k. Gendarmerie knocks on his door: There had been a certain dispute with a customer last week over a few sacks of milling material which had disappeared in the mill here in a completely inexplicable way […] but it could have been that he had been reported for it anyway – and now they’re coming to pick him up… then of course all the disputed milling sacks had immediately fallen from his mind, the monastery miller, just as [sergeant] Hawlitschek is now simply asking him for a place to stay for the night.”
