The watermill of Brüglingen was first mentioned in 1259. It was rebuilt in the 16th century and the canal was prolonged in 1624/25.
In 1777 the mill was refurbished into a dwelling house for the miller, and after change of ownership converted back into a grain mill in 1825. It stayed operational until 1925.
"The building has been used since 1966 as museum. New museum strategies were entered in 2002 and now the former watermill offers an exhibition on the history of the mill and millers’ daily work from the Bronze Age up to the present day. The mill and the grinder are still functional, therefore the museum shows the entire process from the water wheel to the water powered mechanism of the rotating mill wheel and grinders." (Wikipedia)
