In 1596, a "hammer mill at Burgk" was mentioned in a document from the Hoyerswerda lordship. For almost 450 years, this iron smelting and iron processing plant shaped the town, which was later called Burghammer. Since there is no memory of this time in the town, the community decided to build this technical monument. It tells the story of the former hammer mill very impressively. Several cycle paths lead through the community area and past Burghammer, such as the Froschradweg, the Niederlausitzer Bergbautour or the Seenland route. A photo stop is therefore inevitable.

This landmark of Burghammer is centrally located and close to the cycle path. Based on old records, the hammer mill, which is powered by water from the Kleine Spree, was rebuilt and set up here. Replicas of the products from the mill can also be seen. A great idea and a good place for a break, as cyclists will find a nice seat.
