At a 20 minutes walk from my house you can find this old watermill:

There was already a watermill at that location in 1187. This one was built in 1516 and restored in 1998. It is now protected as a monument.
At a few meters from this watermill you can find this tower. It is all that remains of a castle that was built in the 12th century and destroyed in 1678
