Füchtelner Mühle, Watermill and heritage monument in Olfen, Germany.
The Füchtelner Mühle stands along Kökelsumer Straße near the Stever River, featuring two water wheels measuring 6 meters in diameter.
Prince Bishop Otto III commissioned the mill's construction between 1301 and 1306, with subsequent reconstructions occurring in 1727 following flood damage.
The structure represents the evolution of industrial heritage, transforming from a grain and oil mill into a modern hydroelectric power station.
The mill currently generates 130 kilowatts of hydroelectric power, providing electricity for approximately 130 households in the surrounding area.
The restoration in 1972 incorporated historic bricks sourced from a demolished mill in Münsterland to maintain architectural authenticity.
