The watermill "Am Beek" from the 15th century belonged to the Himmelpforten monastery for many centuries. After it was demolished in 1739, it was rebuilt at its current location by the weir.

The basis for the operation of the watermill was the right to dam up the mill stream or Beek, which was repeatedly reestablished or supplemented. Today, there are still remains of the mill, which is owned by the 12th generation of the Wehber family. The mill can be visited by appointment.

The watermill is part of the Lower Saxony Mill Route.
