History of the Schlossmühle Lippholthausen:
In the district of Lippholthausen, which today belongs to Lünen, stood the Buddenburg House until the end of the 1970s, which also included the Schlossmühle.
From the 14th century until 1902, the Buddenburg house was owned by the Frydag zu Buddenburg family. The Frydags belong to the very old Westphalian nobility. The family was first mentioned in a document in 1198. Around 1535, the noble family had a water mill built south of Brunnenstraße and opposite Schlossallee. A large mill pond was dug on the former Henebecke river.
The courses of the Henebecke, Sadbecke, Wilbecke and Seltenbecke were then diverted in such a way that they flowed directly into the new mill pond and fed it with water. Compulsory meals for the farmers of Buddenburg
The excavated masses of earth were used to build a land defence, which protected the mill and the mill pond from the south. Parts of this historical weir are still preserved in the immediate vicinity of the mill.
After the mill had been completed and put into operation, the farmers in the Buddenburg area were forced to grind: they all had to come to the castle mill to have their grain ground.
Nothing remains of the mill built in the early 16th century. Today's mill building is already quite a number of years old: it was built in 1760 by Wessel Giesbert von Frydag.
In 1903 the Buddenburg house and the castle mill came into the possession of the Rüxleben family through inheritance. They finally sold the property to the city of Lünen in 1913. Grain was ground in the castle mill until 1930.
