Sudweyher Wassermühle, Watermill in Sudweyhe, Germany
Sudweyher Wassermühle is a two-story half-timbered building with a mansard roof situated along the Hache River near the Lower Saxony Mill Route. Inside are exhibition spaces, municipal archives, and a venue hall in the renovated barn section, complemented by open grounds outside.
The mill site originated in 1260 under the ownership of Count Heinrich of Oldenburg-Wildeshausen. The building underwent several reconstructions over centuries and took its current form in 1819 before being transformed into its present cultural use.
The site serves as a cultural hub where visitors can experience art exhibitions, concerts, and community events throughout the year. The open grounds create space for outdoor gatherings that blend the building's industrial past with contemporary cultural activities.
The facility is easily accessible with barrier-free access to its different areas. The surrounding grounds allow for walking exploration, and parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.
The mill once operated with three water wheels that could process up to 1.5 tons of grain daily when water levels were high. This remarkable output made the operation quite profitable during times of adequate water flow in the river.
