Hofenmühle

The Hofenmühle is an 18th-century water mill in the municipality of Wohlen near Bern, Switzerland.

After the 1920 damming of the River Aar that created the Wohlensee reservoir, the water wheel was replaced with a Brown, Boveri & Cie turbine.

The mill ceased to operate in 1994 following the retirement of the miller; since then, local craftsmen and artists have settled in the buildings.

[1] In 2007 and 2008, a 20 kW micro hydro power plant was installed in it.

[2] As the hamlet Hofen, the mill compound has been listed in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites since 1943.
