Alte Mühle Oberdottingen, Watermill in Ballrechten-Dottingen, Germany
Alte Mühle Oberdottingen is a watermill complex featuring a main building, three smaller structures, a courtyard, and gardens with mature trees. The property has been converted into residential use with six separate apartments that each have their own kitchens and private outdoor seating areas.
The year 1765 is inscribed above the mill entrance, though records suggest an earlier structure occupied this site during the 16th century. The location evolved from a working mill into a residential and cultural building over the following centuries.
The mill now serves as a wedding venue and hosts cooking classes in its updated kitchen space. Visitors experience how a historic working building has become a place for gathering and learning today.
The property is accessible to the public primarily for organized events such as weddings and cooking classes held on scheduled dates. Visitors should book in advance since these activities are arranged on specific occasions rather than being available daily.
A historical distillery operates within the complex, producing fruit spirits using traditional methods specific to the Markgräflerland region. This craft tradition remains active and reflects the area's long connection to spirits production.
