The "hydropower plant" (meaning the oil mill) is part of a traditional mill complex from Schloß Brake. This also includes the castle mill and the sawmill on the opposite bank of the Bega. The oil mill, built in 1806, was in operation until 1925. There is a detailed wooden model of the grinder, with the help of which you can learn something about how it works. Unfortunately no fixed opening times. By appointment only: verein-alt-lemgo.de
