Visit the only intact flour mill on the free-flowing Rhine and learn about its eventful past.
The oldest mention of the Barzmühle dates back to 1452 and was owned by the Bishop of Constance. In 1665, the mill was transferred as a fief to the municipality of Zurzach. The former ship mill on the Rhine appears again and again in general historical records. On 22 December 1998, a foundation was set up to save the Barzmühle. This was done with the great-grandchildren and donors of the former operator Dambach, Frida and Hans Dambach Sel. From 1999 onwards, a great deal of work was carried out in the mill. Craftsmen, professionals, groups of apprentices, interested parties and other organisations worked for free or at cost price. A mill was made ready for operation and flour can now be produced. The following can be seen in the mill today:
- An exhibition on arable farming as the basis for grain production
- An intact forge with exhibits from the Höfli District Museum
Today the mill is a popular excursion destination for school classes, class reunions or generally for anyone interested in this old craft.
Guided tours of the Barzmühle are also available.
