Grander Mühle, Heritage restaurant in Kuddewörde, Germany
Grander Mühle is a mill building with half-timbered construction standing on the Bille River with a granite base and a hipped roof clad in clay tiles. Its interior retains the original layout featuring the grinding area, flour storage, and a central fireplace.
The building was first documented in 1345 and initially served as a mill for surrounding villages. Otto von Bismarck purchased the property in 1871, and it was converted into a restaurant after 1928.
The building displays regional craftsmanship through its half-timbered walls and central fireplace, which still define the character of an old working building. Visitors experience this traditional northern construction style directly while dining.
The location is easily accessible and sits directly on the Bille River, where visitors can park and walk to the building. The best time to visit is during restaurant hours when guests can enjoy both the historical architecture and regional cuisine.
A functioning waterwheel about 3.5 meters in diameter is still mounted on the gable wall, renewed in 1985 and connected to the river through a separate mill channel. This working wheel is a rare remnant of historical mill infrastructure that visitors rarely see elsewhere.
