    This beautiful half-timbered house stands directly on the Püttlach River. It was one of eight mills in the rocky town and, having been built in 1718, is one of the oldest buildings in Pottenstein.

    On the north side of the house, there is still a functioning water wheel, powered by a tributary of the Püttlach River.
