Originally built in 1834 as a paper mill, the site has expanded and modernised. The site was powered by water at first. A large explosion in 1870 left the works in disrepair. It was bought a year later and was probably modernised at this time (Schmoller 1992: 103-4). The mill site expanded to it current size in the 1960s. Prior to the mill, the area was probably used as meadows. Legibility is fragmentary as the mill race or goit is still extant.
