An old mill on the banks of the Alzette, a few minutes from the museum, where mustard was once made.
The origins of the Muerbelsmillen (“Mohrfels mill”) date back to the 11th century. Lately and until 1985, it operated as a mustard factory. Today, the site preserves the old mill technology, completed by an exhibition.
The visitor discovers the large water wheel rotating in the canal as well as the first floor where grinding was once carried out with the old millstones and gears. A historical film illustrates the operation of the mill and the production of mustard. A separate space is reserved for workshops.
Guided tours and “Make your own mustard!” workshops are available on request for groups and school classes, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
