Rothemermolen (IJzeren molen)

The Rothemermolen is one of two watermills on the Geulke, a branch of the Geul. The mill, already mentioned in 1381, was owned by the Lords of Vaeshartelt but has changed hands many times during its existence. Until around 1885, the mill was used to beat oil. At that time, it was also expanded with a grain mill. Around 1920 the wooden water wheel was replaced by an iron wheel and the oil mill was demolished.

In September 1944 the mill was heavily damaged by war and was not fully restored to its former state. The mill was shut down in the early 1950s. Since 2010, the Rothemermolen has been owned by Habets Bouwgroep in Nuth and is once again in good working order. Just before the water wheel, there is a branch in the Geulke that supplies the water features of seven estates in the area with fresh water.
