Dansk: Besser Mølle, eller Tohøj Mølle som den oprindeligt hed, blev brugt som kulisse i filmen "Arvingen fra Skjoldborg" fra 1913. En dramatisk stumfilm om en grevesøn, en falsk baronesse samt møllerens datter som føder grevesønnens barn..
I 1913 var møllen blevet overflødig ved eletricitetens indførelse og møllens ejer solgte den for 5000 kr til filmselskabet, så de kunne lave den dramatiske scene hvor møllen brænder.
Kun stubben stod tilbage efter optagelserne, og det er den der idag danner fundamenter for udsigtstårnet.
