An imposing Renaissance gable adorns the former watermill. Outside, the millrace is preserved – it once ran through an archway directly into the mill building. A historic wooden pavilion can be found in the small park on the "mill island." The ground floor of the Brettach Mill houses a small village museum with a miller's workshop and restored pieces of historic mill machinery. It is open on select Sundays throughout the year and for groups by appointment.
