Faber Watermill

Highlight • Monument

This water mill for grinding grain still functions just for the pleasure of the visitors.

This Hotton watermill from 1729 gives us the true feeling of a bygone era. It was built along a watercourse, a second tributary of the Ourthe, which gave rise to an island (l'île d'Oneux) in the heart of the place.
At that time it was a communal mill and the inhabitants were obliged to grind their grain in the mill of the Lordship. This obligation was accompanied by a tax called "milling dues" and was proportional to the amount of milled grain. The mill was functional until the early 1960s and bears the name of its last owner, Mr Lucien Faber, whose wish was to open the mill to the public. She became the property of the Hotton Municipality in 1989.
