Mlýn je poprvé doložen v 17. století. V 19. století zde byla krome mlýna v provozu také pila. V roce 1920 kola nahradila Francisova turbína. Obilí se zde mlelo do roku 1948. Dnes je budouva mlýna zrekonstruovaná na penzion. Nachází se zde malá vodní elektrárna s Francisovou turbínou, která byla po 60 letech znovu uvedena do provozu v prosinci 2016.
