The first mechanical weaving mill stood there in 1851, driven by water power. Since 1879 the new owner gave it its name and the mill was then steam powered. There was a weaving and spinning mill, a dyeing and bleachery. 270 people worked there in its heyday. The mill operated until 2004. The last owner lived alone in his closed factory and died there in 2011.
