The Bishop's Mill in Bamberg is a historic building on the Regnitz River, the core of which dates back to the 17th century. However, the first documented mention of a mill on this site dates back to 1401. The Bishop's Mill acquired its current elongated appearance after a fire in 1961 and its reconstruction in 1981.
Architecturally, the Bishop's Mill is a simple yet distinctive building that blends well into Bamberg's ensemble of historic watermills. After its restoration, the mill received the City of Bamberg's Facade Award in 2022 for the successful restoration of its historic structure.

The mill district is divided into two areas: the upper and the lower mill district. Both districts are only separated from each other by the Bischofsmühl bridge.
