Wehrmühle Biesenthal, Historic watermill in Biesenthal, Germany.
Wehrmühle Biesenthal is a watermill complex north of the city center comprising three separate buildings: the mill structure, a gallery, and a guest house. The facility houses exhibition halls, coworking spaces, and six guest rooms for visitors.
First documented in 1375 as Werremole, the mill originally served to regulate water levels for local castle defense. The stucco facade dates to 1907, while contemporary additions were completed in 2006.
The site functions as an art venue where exhibitions and events showcase work from local and international creators. Visitors experience the space as an active gathering place for contemporary artistic practice.
The site is accessible by public transportation and offers on-site accommodation, dining, and workspace options. Visit times are flexible as exhibitions and events run throughout the year.
The building merges its original 1907 stucco facade with modern interventions from 2006, allowing past and present to coexist side by side. This blend of old and new elements shapes how the place appears.
