Regenstein Mill, Historic watermill in Blankenburg, Germany.

The Regenstein Mill features two reconstructed water wheels, with the upper wheel for grain grinding and the lower wheel for oil production.

The mill was constructed during the 12th century to support Regenstein Castle and operated continuously until the mid-15th century.

The mill reflects medieval engineering through its 2-kilometer water channel system, which directed water from the Goldbach stream for power generation.

Visitors can access the mill site through forest paths, with information panels explaining the historical water management system.

During the Seven Years' War in 1758, Prussian forces deliberately dismantled parts of the mill structure for strategic military purposes.
