Soderstorf: Soderstorf watermill in Amelinghausen holiday region

Basic history

Soderstorf watermill was first testified in 1427. The mill has been owned by the Vogt family since 1650 and has been used in its long history as a grain mill, oil mill, groat mill, bark mill, and saw mill. In the 1960s, Soderstorf watermill was only used for personal needs and has stood silent since then.
