Ophover Mühle, Historical watermill restaurant in Wegberg, Germany.
Ophover Mühle is a restaurant housed in a former grain mill building in Wegberg, retaining its original stone walls and wooden beams. The complex sits beside a millpond and incorporates the historic structure into its current dining concept.
The mill was built in the 17th century and operated with two grinding mechanisms powered by an undershot water wheel. Grain production continued until 1965, when the operation ended and the building was repurposed.

The kitchen opens Monday through Saturday at 9:00 AM and Sundays at 10:00 AM, with different menus depending on the day. Visitors should allow time for an unhurried meal beside the millpond.
Beer is brewed on-site using traditional methods, connecting the restaurant to the region's craft heritage. Visitors can taste six different varieties produced specifically in this location.
