Remblinghausen Sawmill
Mill
The historic sawmill in Remblinghausen is a true gem among cultural landmarks. Much of what is here to admire is still in working order: the machinery and equipment dating from 1880 to 1936 are put into operation during the tour. The sawmill was built in 1809, though a mill in Remblinghausen was first mentioned in historical records as early as 1671.

Historic Sawmill with the Chapel of St. Nothelm, a Cultural Monument
Yet its early history remains a mystery. What is well known, however, is that the sawmill was gradually expanded and modernized in the 19th century. In 1896, a wheelwright’s workshop was added, and in 1926, the turbine house with a clover mill and a grist mill was built. Starting in 1911 and 1917, daily operations were made easier by a single-cylinder engine and a slip-ring motor.

The mill operated as a general enterprise until 1983. Today, in addition to the aforementioned machinery, visitors can admire the horizontal saw frame, the turbine, and the threshing machine, as well as the unique rake pin milling machine and the “light machine” from around 1901—one of the oldest electricity generators in the Sauerland region.
