Borner Mühle, Watermill in Brüggen, Germany.

The Borner Mühle stands on the right bank of the Schwalm River, featuring three undershot water wheels that powered the milling mechanisms.

The Cologne Abbey of St. Pantaleon owned the mill in the 12th century, and in 1412 local residents were required to grind their grain there.

The mill operated as a combined grain, oil, walk, and bark mill, representing the agricultural and industrial traditions of the Lower Rhine region.

Following extensive renovations in 1980, the historic mill structure was converted into a hotel and restaurant, though operations ceased in February 2014.

The mill received protected status on March 11, 1985, when it was registered as number 19 in the local monuments list.
