Schäferkämper Wassermühle
Schäferkämper Wassermühle, Watermill in Bad Westernkotten, Germany
The Schäferkämper Wassermühle features two overshot water wheels, each measuring 3.2 meters in diameter, powering two grain milling mechanisms.
Built in 1748 under Archbishop Clemens August's permission, the mill operated commercially until 1933 and was acquired by the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation in 1989.
The mill combines industrial functionality with residential space, including preserved living quarters that display typical 1930s furniture from the Thiemann family.
Visitors can attend guided tours every Saturday at 14:30, during which the grain crushing mechanism is demonstrated in operation.
The mill walls, constructed from quarry stones, reach an extraordinary thickness of 1.70 meters and incorporate massive oak beams for machinery support.
