Bischofsmühle and its collection

Bischofsmühle
Source

The Bischofsmühle is a unique watermill located in Coesfeld, characterized by its overshot water wheel. This type of water wheel is a significant feature of the mill, as it is powered by the weight of water falling from above, rather than from the flow of water underneath. This makes the Bischofsmühle a fascinating site for those interested in historical engineering and architecture.

The Oldest Building in Coesfeld

The Bischofsmühle holds a significant place in the history of Coesfeld, as it is the oldest building in the Münsterland district town. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, making it a site of great historical interest. Visitors can explore the mill and learn about its long history and the role it played in the development of the town.

A Fully Functional Museum Mill

Today, the Bischofsmühle serves as a fully functional museum mill. It houses equipment from around 1900 and uses modern generator technology to harness the energy of the flowing water for electricity generation. This combination of historical and modern technology provides a unique insight into the evolution of energy production and is a highlight for visitors.
