Hof Meyer zu Bentrup, Historical estate and watermill in Brönninghausen, Bielefeld, Germany.

The estate complex includes multiple agricultural buildings at Salzufler Straße 145-149, with a prominent watermill constructed near a millpond.

Count Otto III of Ravensberg transferred the estate, first documented in 1305, to Stift Schildesche as restitution payment during the medieval period.

The estate maintained a chapel from 1458, serving the religious needs of local residents until its deterioration in the aftermath of the Thirty Years War.

The farm currently specializes in growing high-quality wheat, rye, rapeseed for oil production, and barley for animal feed without maintaining livestock.

The watermill, built in 1785, operated continuously until 2005, when its traditional milling equipment was preserved for demonstration purposes.
