Ansa Mill, Schluchtenweg, Sevelen
Hydropower does the trick
Until about 45 years ago, the Ansa Mill milled corn, rye, and wheat for local farmers in both summer and winter, and also operated a small sawmill. With the help of hydropower, a stately waterwheel, and simple yet sophisticated technology, a hundredweight of grain could be processed in three hours of hard work. Today, modern machines can process the same amount of grain in less than five minutes.

Here stands the beautiful old house of the former Ansa mill, dating back to 1755, located on the Saarbach.
