The windmill was built around 1780 and belonged to the lords of Gudenau until 1834.

"The Villip Watermill in Wachtberg, also known as the Broich Mill, Bruch Mill, or Bedorf Mill, is still completely preserved.
This Villip Mill was first documented in 886, making it one of the oldest watermills in the region.
Above the mill is the mill pond, into which water primarily from the Arzdorf Stream and the Ölbach (a tributary of the Godesberger Stream) flows to power the mill's overshot waterwheel."
