A privileged location, at the bottom of the valley and taking advantage of the natural elements, for this old mill whose origins date back to the year 1600.

At the bottom of the Lhomme valley, the old Mirwart mill sits at the foot of the hill occupied by the castle.
Here, away from the village, the miller found the necessary motive power to drive the millstones and grind the cereals into flour.
Owned by the lord, who charged the villagers a fee for its use, the origin of the mill seems to date back to the year 1600.
Over time, it underwent transformations and received new equipment until it ceased all activity after the First World War.
Set in a large green area, only a few traces of the former activities, such as the diversion reach and the water reservoir, are still visible.
It is owned by the Province of Luxembourg and is now part of the provincial accommodation and leisure centre.
