The watermill stands on a site that was established by the Cistercians over 750 years ago. It is the last remaining mill of the former four mills of the Salveybach and is located in a historically created pond landscape.
In order to be able to recreate the life of the mill at that time, a technology museum was built in the rooms of the mill. The old mill inventory can be viewed here. The exhibition provides information about the time when the Salveymühle was built until today. The very special thing about the Salvey Mühle was its horizontal saw powered by water power via the turbine. The saw frame as well as the transmission can be experienced in operation.
In the upper rooms and on the outside area there is also the opportunity to find out more about renewable energy. For those who want to stay longer, the mill offers ecological and beautifully designed holiday apartments, single and double rooms as well as bicycle accommodation.
