The oldest preserved building of the Himmerod Abbey is the Old Mill, which was powered by water. The still preserved wooden structure in the attic and the historical oven impressively testify to times long past.

The oldest preserved monastery building, the "Old Mill," was transformed into a museum after extensive renovation in 1998. The documentation on the history of the Cistercian Order, the exhibition of enamel art, the mill installation, and numerous cultural events offer a diverse range for the interested visitor.
