History

The seven-story tower on the eastern summit of the Liedberg was a keep of the fortress (castle) of Liedberg. There is no scientific dating of its age. According to Jakob Bremer, it could have been built around the year 900 after the Norman raids. The residential tower, built from fired bricks and ashlar sandstone, lost importance after the construction of Liedberg Castle.

In 1572 it was converted into a windmill by adding a wooden gallery and a wing hood to the tower. In the wars of 1664 and 1706 the gallery was destroyed and rebuilt in stone. In 1776 the rent collector of Liedberg Castle tried unsuccessfully to auction the mill because it was not profitable. The French declared the mill a domain in 1794. The unprofitable mill remained in operation until 1836. A storm in 1836 tore down parts of the roof structure, the wings with the axle and the pinion wheel, ending its use as a mill.
