Teufelsmühle Oybin, ehemalige Sägemühle im Goldbachtal in Oybin

The Teufelsmühle is a former sawmill in the Goldbach valley in Oybin, first documented from the time of the Cölestine monks around 1500 and converted into a grain mill in 1574. The main building burned down in 1848 and was rebuilt; after 1956 it served as a holiday home for the VEB Kirow-Werk Leipzig. It stands at its own stop on the narrow-gauge Zittau–Oybin railway and now houses a restaurant and hotel.

The mill dates from the time of the Cölestine monks around 1500 and is considered Oybin's oldest. In 1574 the sawmill, part of a larger complex, was converted into a grain mill. Elector Johann Georg II of Saxony visited on 18 May 1665. After the main building burned in 1848, it was rebuilt and at times housed a spinning mill; after 1956 it served as a holiday home for the VEB Kirow-Werk Leipzig.

The name Teufelsmühle comes from a legend in which the devil carried off a monk here; until 1834 the mill was called Einsiedelmühle. The name Schurfmühle and the old name Schurf for Niederoybin are said to refer to mining. A stone cross from 1670 stands right by the mill.

The mill sits directly at the Teufelsmühle stop of the narrow-gauge Zittau–Oybin railway, and the Goldbach valley paths pass the door. The Sühnekreuz of 1670 stands immediately beside the building, so both can be seen on one stop. The house now serves as a restaurant and hotel.

The stone cross of 1670 beside the mill did not always stand here: it was originally on the road to Zittau, opposite the Haus Einsiedel, and was moved to the mill. A legend links the spot to the last hermit, said to have been killed there during the Reformation.
